Mad Medvedev criticizes the "silly" rule of going to the bathroom |In Spanish.

Russian Medvedev yelled at French chair umpire Renaud Lichtenstein about the recently updated rule that limits players to a maximum of three minutes off the court, with an additional two if they choose to change clothes.

After a tough 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-7(4), 7-5 victory over American Cressy on a sweltering day at Margaret Court Arena, the second seed said the Players needed more freedom to cool off on extremely hot days. .

“The point is that I know that in the 35 (degree) heat, if you play in the sun, I want to change after two sets because you get wet,” he told reporters.

“I want to change my shorts, under my shorts, my socks, my shoes. It takes you at least four minutes, and my body wanted to pee after the first game.

"So I don't see any logic in these rules, so I can call this stupid."

After losing the third set to serve to the volleying Cressy, Medvedev sulked in the fourth when he failed to bring the American serve to eight break points.

But he said he was in the mood to be placed on exhibition court at Margaret Court Arena for the second straight game, instead of center court at Rod Laver Arena.

“I was pretty upset today about a few things,” said the US Open champion, the top seed at Melbourne Park after world number one Novak Djokovic was deported from Australia.

“First of all, I really don't know what to do to play center court at Grand Slams.

“Because I won the last Grand Slam. I mean I'm the top qualifier here, and playing Maxime would be easier for Rod Laver (Arena), more space.

“If you're playing on a smaller field, it's more difficult to play with someone who serves and volleys than it is on a larger field.”

Medvedev, last year's runner-up to Djokovic, will face Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the semifinals.
