Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Defeat to Berrettini in Monte-Carlo Masters
World-class tennis player Daniil Medvedev experienced a shocking loss, going down 6-0 6-0 to Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters. This match, which lasted a mere 49 minutes, saw Medvedev claim only 17 points as Berrettini dominated the court, becoming the first ATP player in a decade to secure a match win without dropping a single game against a top-10 opponent. Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, showcased ruthless efficiency, not allowing Medvedev a single game point on his serve throughout the match. Medvedev's loss marked the first instance of him failing to win a game in a tour-level match, adding to his 10 sets lost 6-0 in his career. The former world No 1 ended the match with an unimpressive 28 unforced errors. Following a dismal start, Medvedev's frustrations boiled over, leading him to smash his racket on the ground before calmly disposing of it. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, expressed his astonishment at Medvedev's loss, stating it was 'shocking' and that Medvedev must have been 'pretty embarrassed.' Berrettini reflected on his exceptional performance, describing it as 'one of the best' of his life, and attributed his success to a near-flawless 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 when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016. This rare feat has only occurred five times in the Open Era.
