Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Defeat in Just 49 Minutes

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was defeated 6-0 6-0 by Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters, lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to secure only 17 points throughout the match, while Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, made history as the first ATP player to achieve a flawless win against a top 10 player in a decade. Berrettini's dominant performance left Medvedev struggling, with the latter failing to earn a single game point on his serve. This loss marks the first time Medvedev has been defeated without winning a game at a tour-level match, adding to his career total of 10 sets lost 6-0. Following a dismal start, with Medvedev trailing 6-0 2-0, his frustration boiled over, leading him to smash his racket before calmly disposing of it. The match ended with Medvedev tallying 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, shared his thoughts on the match, stating, 'It's shocking, and it shouldn't have happened, but it did.' Murray expressed his belief that Medvedev's poor performance would likely leave him feeling embarrassed. Meanwhile, Berrettini reflected on his remarkable win, saying, 'I think it was one of the best performances of my life... I missed only three shots in the entire match, and it's not easy against a tricky player like Daniil.' Berrettini's victory is only the fifth instance in the Open Era where an ATP player has won 6-0 6-0 against a top 10 player, with the last occurrence being David Goffin's defeat of Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016.
