Watch: Daniil Medvedev's coach Gilles Cervara storms out in the middle of Halle Open final after World No. 1 yells at him
Daniil Medvedev was beaten 6-1, 6-4 by Hubert Hurkacz in the final of the Halle Open on Sunday. The Russian was completely outplayed by Hurkacz, who used his full repertoire of weapons to dominate the match.
Interestingly, however, Medvedev had a heated moment with his coach Gilles Cervara midway through the final. The Russian was spotted yelling at Cervara, resulting in the latter abrubtly leaving the court.
The video of the incident can be seen below:
Medvedev will next play at the Mallorca Open, where he is the top seed. The World No. 1 has won seven out of nine matches on grass this season, but will be disappointed not to have a title to his name.
He will not compete at Wimbledon this year given that the grasscourt Major has banned Russian and Belarusian players from competing.

Medvedev is yet to win a title this season, losing all three finals he has played in. He was beaten by Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final, despite being two sets up. He also made the final at the Libema Open last week, losing to wildcard Tim van Rijthoven in straight sets.
