Medvedev Humiliated in 49-Minute Monte-Carlo Masters Thrashing

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was handed a devastating 6-0, 6-0 defeat by Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters, lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to secure only 17 points throughout the match, as Berrettini made history by becoming the first ATP player in 10 years to win a match without dropping a single game against a top-10 opponent. The Italian player, who entered the tournament as a wild card, demonstrated ruthless efficiency against Medvedev, preventing him from earning even a single game point on his serve. This loss marked the first instance of Medvedev being defeated in a tour-level match without winning a game, and it also marked his 10th career set loss with a score of 6-0. Following a dismal start, where he fell 6-0, 2-0 behind, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, and he smashed his racket to the ground before calmly disposing of it. The former world number one concluded the match with an unimpressive 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, shared his thoughts on the match, stating, 'It's shocking, and it shouldn't have happened, but it did. I'm sure Medvedev will be pretty embarrassed after that performance.' Murray also acknowledged Medvedev's recent performance in Indian Wells, where he reached the final, and expressed surprise at his poor showing on clay. Berrettini, on the other hand, described his performance as 'one of the best of my life,' saying, 'I think I missed only three shots in the entire match, and it's not easy against a tricky player like Daniil.' The last time an ATP player achieved a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline against a top-10 player was when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016. This feat has only been accomplished four times in the Open Era.
