Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Defeat in Just 49 Minutes
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, as Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, made history by becoming the first ATP player to achieve a flawless victory against a top 10 opponent in over a decade. The Italian player's ruthless efficiency left Medvedev struggling, with the Russian 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 single game, adding to his tally of 10 sets lost 6-0 in his career. As Medvedev's frustration grew, he smashed his racket in a fit of rage after falling 6-0 2-0 behind. He ended the match with a disappointing 28 unforced errors. According to Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, 'It's shocking and shouldn't have happened, but it did.' Murray expressed his surprise at Medvedev's performance, considering his impressive run in Indian Wells. Berrettini, on the other hand, was ecstatic about his victory, stating, 'I think it was one of the best performances of my life.' He attributed his success to a perfect game plan and the effectiveness of his shots. This remarkable win is only the fifth instance in the Open Era where an ATP player has achieved a 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top 10 player.
