Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Loss to Berrettini in Under 50 Minutes
In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was defeated by Matteo Berrettini 6-0, 6-0 in a mere 49 minutes at the Monte-Carlo Masters. This loss marks the first time Medvedev has been shut out in a tour-level match, with Berrettini becoming the first ATP player to achieve a 'double bagel' against a top-10 player in a decade. Medvedev's performance was marred by 28 unforced errors, while Berrettini's ruthless efficiency earned him the win. The Italian player, a former Wimbledon finalist, did not face a single game point on Medvedev's serve throughout the match. The loss has left Medvedev reeling, with the former world No. 1 smashing his racket in frustration at one point. Two-time Grand Slam doubles champion Jamie Murray described the loss as 'shocking' and expressed surprise at Medvedev's poor performance, given his recent success in Indian Wells. Berrettini, on the other hand, was thrilled with his 'one of the best performances of my life,' crediting his perfect game plan and effective use of his weapons. This stunning upset 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 in 2016.
