Medvedev Suffers Stunning Defeat in Monte-Carlo Masters

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was defeated 6-0, 6-0 by Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters, with the match lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to secure only 17 points throughout the match, while Berrettini became the first ATP player in 10 years to achieve a victory without dropping a single game against a top-10 opponent. 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 game, and it also marks his 10th career loss in a 6-0 set. Medvedev's frustration boiled over after falling behind 6-0, 2-0, prompting him to smash his racket in a display of anger. He ultimately ended the match with 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, expressed his surprise at the outcome, stating, 'It is shocking and shouldn't happen, but it did.' Murray also noted that Medvedev's performance was embarrassing and that he would want to leave the site quickly after such a loss. Berrettini, on the other hand, attributed his success to a well-executed game plan and his effective use of weapons. The Italian player admitted that he was not expecting to win with such a dominating scoreline but maintained his focus throughout the match. This victory marks the fifth time in the Open Era that an ATP player has won 6-0, 6-0 against a top-10 opponent, with the last occurrence being David Goffin's defeat of Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016.
