Daniil Medvedev smashed a net camera in an angry outburst during a five-set Australian Open win over lowly-ranked wild card Kasidit Samrej.

Medvedev reached the final for the third time at Melbourne Park 12 months ago but arrived late in Australia following the birth of his second child and was in deep trouble against 418th-ranked Thai Samrej.
