Sandgren uses last shot in Melbourne to slam media

MELBOURNE - After losing in the Australian Open quarterfinals on Wednesday, Tennys Sandgren saved his final shot of the tournament for the media.

Sandgren opened his news conference following a 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-3 loss to Chung Hyeon by reading a prepared statement decrying articles that have scrutinized his Twitter feed during his unexpected run at Melbourne Park.

"With a handful of follows and some likes on Twitter, my fate has been sealed in your minds," Sandgren said, reading from his mobile phone.
