Medvedev loses to Berrettini 0-6, 0-6 at Monte Carlo 2026.

An unexpected defeat for the former world number one from Russia.

Former world number one Daniil Medvedev suffered the most devastating loss of his career, falling 0-6, 0-6 to Matteo Berrettini in the second round. Monte Carlo Masters 2026 taking place on April 8th afternoon Vietnam time.

This outcome was nearly unimaginable before the match, even though clay courts are not Medvedev's forte, and Berrettini, despite being a top-tier player, has struggled with injuries in recent seasons.

There was nothing positive to say about Medvedev in this match. He had an early chance to break Berrettini's serve but failed to capitalize, then spiraled with a series of errors. As his morale collapsed, "Meddy" showed signs of frustration and nearly gave up in the second set. Smashing his racket did not improve the Russian player's situation.

For Berrettini, his signature style—a powerful serve and forehand combo—was executed perfectly. Combined with his opponent's visibly declining spirit, the handsome Italian player raced to finish the match in just 51 minutes.

This marks the most humiliating loss in Daniil Medvedev's career—a former world number one, Grand Slam champion, and winner of many major tournaments. Within just two weeks, "Meddy" suffered two 0-6 set losses, previously losing 0-6, 6-4, 5-7 to Francisco Cerundolo at the Miami Open.

Additionally, this is the second consecutive year the Monte Carlo Masters has witnessed a match ending 6-0, 6-0. In 2025, Alex De Minaur ruthlessly gave Grigor Dimitrov a "double bagel," surprising many fans.

Meanwhile, this stunning victory sends Matteo Berrettini to the quarterfinals of this year's Monte Carlo Masters, where the Italian "heartthrob" will face young talent Joao Fonseca or home favorite Arthur Rinderknech.
