Daniil Medvedev advances to the US Open third round after a straight-sets win over American wildcard Sebastian Gorzny, despite an on-court interruption involving two birds. During a point in the match, the birds perch on the net, briefly disrupting play and prompting concern for the players.
All reports describe Medvedev as momentarily unsettled by the incident, with one outlet saying he is “spitting feathers” while he adjusts to the interruption. The players ultimately continue and Medvedev maintains control of the match, securing his spot in the third round without any long delay.
The coverage focuses mainly on the unusual disruption rather than a shift in the competitive narrative. While the accounts differ in tone—ranging from straightforward match description to more informal phrasing—they converge on the same sequence: birds enter during the second-round clash, play is interrupted, and Medvedev proceeds to win to reach the next stage.
