Medvedev SHOCKED in 6-0, 6-0 Collapse as Racquet Smash Steals Headlines
A stunning collapse on one of tennis’s biggest clay stages has left fans questioning what just happened to Daniil Medvedev, after a brutal straight-sets defeat that quickly turned into a moment of pure frustration and spectacle.
At the Monte Carlo Masters, Medvedev suffered the first double bagel loss of his career, going down 6-0, 6-0 to Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in just under an hour. This wasn’t just a loss, it was a complete breakdown in rhythm, confidence and control from a player who has spent years among the world’s elite.
From the very beginning, Berrettini looked sharp, aggressive and completely in command. His serve was firing, his groundstrokes were clean and his game plan worked almost perfectly. On the other side of the net, Medvedev struggled to find any answers. Errors piled up quickly, his serve faltered and the match slipped away point by point.
But it wasn’t just the scoreline that caught attention. Midway through the match, frustration boiled over. Medvedev smashed his racquet repeatedly, eventually snapping it in half in a moment that drew both shock and uneasy amusement from the crowd. It was a visible sign of a player mentally unraveling under pressure.

This result also highlights a deeper issue. Medvedev has never hidden his discomfort on clay courts. His playing style, built around flat shots and defensive positioning, often clashes with the slower, higher-bouncing surface. And once again, that discomfort was exposed in the harshest way possible.
For Berrettini, this is a powerful statement. After battling injuries and dropping in the rankings, this performance signals a potential resurgence. Dominating a top-10 player with such authority will send a message across the tour that he is finding his form again.
For Medvedev, though, this raises serious questions. Is this just a bad day, or a recurring vulnerability on clay that rivals can exploit? With the clay season leading into major tournaments, including Roland Garros, the timing could not be more concerning.
In tennis, momentum can shift quickly, but so can confidence. And right now, Medvedev faces a critical moment to reset, regroup and respond.
