"Daniil Medvedev ESPN blackout US Open clash: Tiafoe vs Shelton"
Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev may have to resort to pirating the US Open due to a TV dispute, as his hotel TV doesn't have access to the tournament. Fans sympathized with his struggle and praised him for speaking out. Spectrum TV and Disney have failed to reach an agreement, causing a blackout for customers. Spectrum blamed Disney for demanding an excessive increase, while ESPN accused Spectrum of declining negotiations. Despite the TV issue, Medvedev has a quarterfinal matchup scheduled for Wednesday.
