Medvedev smashes racket during double bagel loss to Berrettini
Daniil Medvedev loses his temper during his 6-0, 6-0 defeat to Matteo Berrettini at the Monte-Carlo Masters. (0:54)
MONACO — Former No. 1 Daniil Medvedev lost his temper, smashed his racket on the red clay court seven successive times and deposited the mangled frame in a trash bin midway through a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Matteo Berrettini at the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday.
Medvedev, who is currently ranked 10th, received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct and will likely be hit with a hefty fine for his actions early in the second set.
He was already struggling when he landed a forehand in the net to drop his opening service game of the second set and fall behind 2-0, and he slammed his racket near the baseline. Then he picked the racket up and threw it toward a tarp at the end of the court.
Monte Carlo Masters: Daniil Medvedev destroys racquet in 6-0 6-0 loss to Matteo Berrettini
Daniil Medvedev obliterated a racquet as he suffered the first 6-0 6-0 loss of his career at the hands of Matteo Berrettini in Monte Carlo.
The combustible Russian has made no secret of his dislike of playing on clay, previously describing it as "a surface for losers".
However, he put in an abject 49-minute second-round performance against world number 90 Berrettini.
After losing the first set and going an immediate break down in the second, Medvedev threw his racquet against the hoardings at the back of the court.
To the amusement of the crowd, he then picked the racquet back up and smashed it against the ground six times, ultimately snapping it in half.
