Medvedev Suffers Stunning 6-0 6-0 Loss to Berrettini in 49 Minutes

In a shocking turn of events, Daniil Medvedev was handed a crushing 6-0 6-0 defeat by Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters, lasting a mere 49 minutes. Medvedev managed to secure just 17 points throughout the match, marking a dismal performance. Berrettini, a former Wimbledon finalist, displayed ruthless efficiency, preventing Medvedev from earning a single game point on his serve. This loss marks the first instance of Medvedev failing to win a game in a tour-level match, with 10 sets lost 6-0 in his career. As the match progressed, Medvedev's frustration boiled over, culminating in him smashing his racket in a fit of rage. The former world No 1 ultimately ended the match with 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.' Berrettini, on the other hand, described his performance as 'one of the best of my life,' crediting his perfect game plan and effective use of his weapons. Notably, this is only the fifth time in the Open Era that an ATP player has achieved a 6-0 6-0 scoreline against a top 10 player, with the last occurrence being David Goffin's victory over Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016.
