Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Defeat to Berrettini in Monte-Carlo Masters

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was handed a crushing 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, marking the first time a top 10 player has been defeated without winning a single game in 10 years. Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, demonstrated ruthless efficiency, leaving Medvedev without a single game point on his serve. This loss marks Medvedev's first tour-level match defeat without winning a game, adding to his 10 sets lost 6-0 in his career. Following a disappointing start, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, resulting in him smashing his racket before calmly disposing of it. The former world No 1 concluded the match with 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray expressed his astonishment, stating, 'It is shocking and it shouldn't happen but it did.' Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, acknowledged the embarrassing nature of the defeat for Medvedev. Berrettini, on the other hand, described his performance as 'one of the best of my life,' highlighting his near-flawless execution and effective game plan. He attributed his success to maintaining focus and recognizing the importance of holding his serve at the start of the second set. This historic 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top 10 player has only occurred four times in the Open Era, with the last instance being David Goffin's victory over Tomas Berdych in 2016.
