    Everyone has a senior moment from time to time.

    Daniil Medvedev had his in the middle of Wimbledon on Wednesday — much to the crowd’s amusement — at Center Court when he forgot the score of his match during the first set against Alexandre Muller.

    The comedic moment didn’t spoil the Russian’s day as he took the game 6-7(3), 7-6(4), 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the third round of Wimbledon.

    When the moment occurred, Muller trailed Medvedev 6-3 and angrily stormed off to his chair and sat down.

    “It was a very tough, physical match,” Medvedev said, according to the ATP Tour . “Alex played well and some moments in the match were very tough to stay in touch with him. I was losing by one set and a break. On grass that is never easy, but I managed to stay solid, always stay in the match and try to fight. Definitely happy with the win. I should have played much better, but it’s OK. When you win, there is a next round to try to do better.”

    Medvedev is ranked No. 5 in the world and will take on 32nd seed Zhang Zhizhen or Jan-Lennard Struff in the next round.
