There have already been several top-10 men's singles players who have lost in the first round of the 2026 French Open (aka Roland-Garros). The first one was USA star Taylor Fritz, who was upset by Nishesh Basavareddy after a disappointing performance from Fritz on May 24. And the second was Daniil Medvedev, who was the tournament's No. 6 seed but still lost to Australia's Adam Walton in five sets in the first round on May 26. While Medvedev has historically not been a great performer at the French Open (he has lost in the first round seven times out of his 10 appearances), most expected him to at least be able to beat Walton on Tuesday.Daniil Medvedev readies a serve to Jannik Sinner | Andy Abeyta/The Desert Sun / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesWhile Medvedev's upset defeat has been a topic of discussion, it isn't the aspect of his match that's generating the most attention.

After he let his frustration about this became apparent on Tuesday, cameras caught his wife, Daria saying to him (in translated Russian), "It's hot for everyone. We're all suffering from it. You have to behave!"This prompted a response from Daniil, who said, "When I start putting the ball in, I'll start behaving."😂😭 LOS DIÁLOGOS ENTRE MEDVEDEV Y SU ESPOSA MEDVEDEVA.— Daria: "Hace calor para todos.

But this exchange didn't keep Medvedev from ultimately losing in what ended up being a competitive match.

I really can. It’s just more difficult for me here and the early rounds tend to be tougher. But I’ll always come back. Maybe I should consider playing a tournament beforehand, something I normally don’t do before Grand Slams. When something isn’t working, why not change it? That’s the only thing I’ll consider for next year, "Medvedev said, per an X post from @josemorgado.
