Daniil Medvedev endured a humbling 6-0 6-0 defeat to Italian wildcard Matteo Berrettini at the Monte Carlo Masters. The world number 10, visibly frustrated, smashed his racket multiple times before discarding the pieces. The loss came in just 49 minutes, with Medvedev failing to win a single game point on his serve.
This marked Berrettini's first tour-level 6-0 6-0 victory and his first win against a top-10 opponent since last season. Berrettini described it as "one of the best performances of my life."
Medvedev's outburst reignites conversations about player conduct and frustration management during matches, following similar incidents and discussions about "rage rooms" for athletes.
