I find it curious that so much of the focus here is on breaking racquets. While such outbursts may be deplorable, what Medvedev did on court was vastly worse: he accused the chair umpire (on no evidence) of wanting to end the match quickly “because they are paid by the match not by the hour” and then incited crowd hatred against him. That is vile, dangerous, and intolerable. It certainly warranted a suspension.
