Sky Sports were made to apologize after Daniil Medvedev's X-rated outburst at an umpire during his recent win over Gael Monfils.<br/><br/>The world No.4 men's star is renowned for his foul-mouthed outbursts and lost his temper again while protesting a call on whether a ball was out in Wednesday's victory at the Monte-Carlo Masters.<br/><br/>A disgruntled Medvedev erupted at the side of the court after a point was awarded to French star Monfils during the second set of the match - with the Russian physically upset with the decision.<br/><br/>Having already won the first set of the round of 32 tie, Medvedev led 30-0 during the fourth game of the second set when a lengthy rally ended with a delayed call ruling Monfils had hit his shot out.<br/><br/>Medvedev had already returned a shot that his opponent couldn't get to before the out call which upon review of the ball mark by the umpire was reversed and the point awarded to Monfils.<br/><br/>The 28-year-old then blasted Chair official Mohamed Lahyani in the player's technical area, with the official trying to calm the situation and advising Medvedev not to shout.<br/><br/>The warning momentarily worked before another mistake saw a Monfils shot called in despite it landing outside of the baseline. <br/><br/>The umpire agreed with Medvedev and called the ball out but the Russian was still left furious during the chair changeover after the game.<br/><br/>'It's a freaking joke it's out how did I lose the game when it's out? It's out, it's out!' he screamed before grabbing hold of the canopy covering him and almost turning it over.<br/><br/>Medvedev then swore in a mix of English and his native Russian as he fumed at himself: <br/><br/>Sky Sports commentator Jonathan Overend then apologized for Medvedev, stating on Sky: 'We apologize for the language from Medvedev but we knew it was coming. We knew it was coming.<br/><br/>'The fact that he didn't say anything at the end of the game made us believe that he is fuming about that call. <br/><br/>'Some of that behavior from Medvedev was in danger of crossing the line for sure at the sit-down.' <br/><br/>Medvedev went on to win the match 6-5, 6-4 and will play Karen Khachanov on Thursday.
