Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 U.S. Open champion, received a generous gift of 300 pieces of Double Bubble gum from the nearby New York Mets baseball team. This gesture came after Medvedev's first-round victory, where he was observed consuming 12 pieces of gum due to a dry mouth.
Medvedev explained his unusual consumption, humorously noting his tendency to chew gum is inspired by watching baseball. The Mets also provided him with a team hat and a Mr. Met bobblehead, further celebrating the player's unique habit. He expressed confidence that the substantial gum supply would suffice for his entire tournament run.
Having won the U.S. Open five years prior, Medvedev aims for redemption after an early exit last year. He is scheduled to face American Sebastian Gorzny in his upcoming second-round match, with fans now anticipating how much gum he'll chew as the tournament progresses.
