Daniil Medvedev has continued the tradition of keeping the US Open fans engaged this year. He has reached the quarterfinals of the US Open for the fourth time. Medvedev has been known to have mood swings whenever he plays at the event, and fans will be eager to learn his vibe in the next match. In his latest press conference, the Russian was joyful as he confessed his love for the sport.
Medvedev said at the post-match conference that he watches the US Open through pirated websites. The matches are unavailable on television due to the ongoing dispute between Disney and Charter Spectrum. On August 31, Disney’s channels were pulled from Spectrum TV, owned by Charter Communications. The channels were removed because Disney and Charter couldn’t agree on a new carriage agreement.

Fans have been resorting to other channels to see the matches. Pirated websites also gain high viewership during these times, and Medvedev joins his fans to watch the matches online.
