Medvedev's Stunning Collapse: Berrettini Wins 6-0 6-0 in 49 Minutes
In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev suffered a crushing 6-0 6-0 defeat at the hands of Matteo Berrettini in the Monte-Carlo Masters, lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to secure just 17 points throughout the match, while Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, made history as the first ATP player to claim a victory without dropping a single game against a top 10 opponent in over a decade. Berrettini's ruthless efficiency left Medvedev struggling, with the latter failing to earn a single game point on his serve. This loss marks the first time Medvedev has been defeated in a tour-level match without winning a game, adding to his tally of 10 sets lost 6-0 in his career. As the match slipped away, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, culminating in a dramatic outburst where he smashed his racket to the ground before calmly disposing of it. The former world No 1 ultimately ended the match with 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, shared his thoughts on the shocking upset, saying, 'It's shocking and it shouldn't happen, but it did. I'm sure Medvedev will be pretty embarrassed walking back to the locker room.' Murray also praised Berrettini's performance, acknowledging that it's not an easy feat to accomplish. Berrettini himself expressed surprise at the outcome, stating, 'I think it was one of the best performances of my life. I missed three shots in the entire match, and it's not easy against a tricky player like Daniil.' This victory marks only the fifth time in the Open Era that an ATP player has won 6-0 6-0 against a top 10 player, with the last occurrence being David Goffin's win over Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016.
