Rennae Stubbs demands stricter player conduct rules after Medvedev default

Daniil Medvedev was defaulted during his semifinal match at the China Open after unintentionally hitting a spectator with a ball. In response, former player Rennae Stubbs criticized the lack of consistent enforcement of player behavior rules and called for a 'blanket rule' to impose immediate defaults for such incidents. This comes amid a broader concern about player conduct in recent ATP events, including other incidents during the Asian Swing. Medvedev has since apologized for his actions, similar to Terence Atmane, who also faced criticism for throwing a racket at the Shanghai Masters but was not penalized.
