World No 1 Daniil Medvedev screamed at his coach during an on-court outburst on Sunday before going on to lose his second straight ATP grass-court final when he was brushed aside by Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in Halle.
Medvedev had few answers as he crashed to a 6-1,6-4 defeat inside 64 minutes.
This was a second consecutive heavy defeat in a final for the Russian who also lost in straight sets to Tim van Rijthoven last Sunday at ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
