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

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. This loss marked a historic moment, as Berrettini became the first ATP player in 10 years to win a match without dropping a single game against a top 10 opponent. Medvedev, who secured only 17 points throughout the match, failed to earn a single game point on his serve. The defeat marked the first time Medvedev has lost a tour-level match without winning a game, adding to his career total of 10 sets lost with a 6-0 scoreline. Following a disappointing start, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, resulting in him smashing his racket on the ground before calmly disposing of it. The former world No 1 concluded the match with an unimpressive 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray expressed his astonishment at the outcome, stating, 'It is shocking and it shouldn't happen but it did.' Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, speculated that Medvedev would likely be embarrassed by his performance. Berrettini, on the other hand, described his victory as 'one of the best performances of my life,' crediting his perfect game plan and effective use of his weapons. The last time an ATP player achieved a 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top 10 player was in 2016, when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters.
