Medvedev Left Reeling After Humiliating 6-0 6-0 Defeat

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, while Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, made history as the first ATP player to achieve a flawless victory against a top 10 opponent in 10 years. Berrettini, who was granted a wild card, dominated the match, leaving Medvedev without a single game point on his serve. This humiliating defeat marks the first time Medvedev has lost a tour-level match without winning a game, and he has now lost 10 sets 6-0 in his career. As the match slipped away, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, and he smashed his racket to the ground before calmly disposing of it. The former world No 1 ended the match with an unimpressive 28 unforced errors. Jamie Murray, a two-time Grand Slam doubles champion, expressed his astonishment at the outcome, stating, 'It is shocking and it shouldn't happen but it did.' Murray also noted that Medvedev's performance was particularly surprising given his impressive showing in Indian Wells, where he reached the final. Berrettini, on the other hand, was ecstatic about his performance, saying, 'I think it was one of the best performances of my life.' He attributed his success to a perfect game plan and the effective use of his weapons. This remarkable victory is 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 instance occurring in 2016 when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters.
