Matteo Berrettini delivered a shocking performance to thrash Daniil Medvedev 6-0, 6-0 in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday.
The seventh-seeded Medvedev endured one of the worst matches of his career, failing to recover after missing two break points in the opening game. The former world number one quickly lost rhythm, committing 30 unforced errors and five double faults in a one-sided contest.
As the match slipped away, Medvedev’s frustration became evident, with the Russian smashing his racquet multiple times during the second set. He managed no more than two points in any of the final 11 games.
Berrettini sealed the emphatic victory in just 49 minutes, handing Medvedev the first double-bagel defeat of his professional career.
The Italian, a former Wimbledon finalist currently ranked 90th, will face either João Fonseca or Arthur Rinderknech in the round of 16.
