Medvedev Suffers Crushing 6-0 6-0 Defeat to Berrettini in Monte-Carlo Masters

World-renowned tennis player Daniil Medvedev endured a shocking 6-0 6-0 loss to Matteo Berrettini in a mere 49 minutes at the Monte-Carlo Masters. Medvedev only managed to secure 17 points throughout the match, marking a historic victory for Berrettini as the first ATP player to achieve a win without dropping a single game against a top 10 opponent in over a decade. Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, demonstrated ruthless efficiency, leaving Medvedev without a single game point on his serve. This unprecedented defeat marks the first time Medvedev has lost a tour-level match without claiming a game and signifies his 10th career loss in a 6-0 set. Following a dismal start, with the score at 6-0 2-0, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, culminating in the destruction of his racket. He ultimately concluded the match with an unimpressive 28 unforced errors. Tennis commentator Jamie Murray expressed his astonishment, stating, 'It's shocking and shouldn't have happened, but it did.' Murray acknowledged that Medvedev's subpar performance might have a lasting impact, adding that he would likely want to exit the premises swiftly after such a disappointing display. Medvedev had recently excelled in Indian Wells, reaching the final, but struggled on the clay surface. Berrettini, on the other hand, delivered one of the finest performances of his career, admitting that he 'missed only three shots in the entire match' and attributed his success to a well-executed game plan. The last instance of a 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top 10 player was in 2016 when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters. This extraordinary win signifies only the fifth time in the Open Era that an ATP player has achieved a 6-0 6-0 victory over a top 10 opponent.
