Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Loss to Berrettini in 49 Minutes

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was defeated 6-0 6-0 by Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters on Wednesday, with the match lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to win only 17 points as Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, became the first ATP player in 10 years to win a match without dropping a single game against a top-10 player. Berrettini's ruthless efficiency left Medvedev struggling, with the latter failing to secure a single game point on his serve throughout the match. This marked the first time Medvedev has lost a tour-level match without winning a game, and he has now lost 10 sets 6-0 in his career. After falling 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 No. 1 ended the match with a staggering 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, speaking to Sky Sports Tennis, described the defeat as 'shocking' and expressed his surprise at Medvedev's performance, given his strong showing in Indian Wells. Berrettini, on the other hand, was thrilled with his performance, stating that it was 'one of the best performances of my life.' He attributed his success to a perfect game plan and the effectiveness of his weapons. The last player to achieve a 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top-10 player was David Goffin, who defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016. This feat has only been accomplished four times in the Open Era. Berrettini emphasized the importance of holding his serve at the start of the second set, which allowed him to relax and capitalize on his advantage.
