Daniil Medvedev experienced one of the toughest defeats of his career at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo and left an image that went around the world: after being vastly overcome, he vented his frustration by breaking his racket in the middle of the game.
The current number 10 in the ATP ranking was crushed by Matteo Berrettini (90th), who won with a resounding 6-0 double in just 49 minutes, without giving him any chance of reaction. The Russian failed to win a single game, something unprecedented in his career against a rival that does not belong to the elite of the circuit
.Medvedev's emotional break came at the start of the second set, when he was already losing 2-0 and accumulating 8 consecutive games lost. At that time, he hit his racket against the ground repeatedly until it was destroyed and then threw it in a garbage can, reflecting his powerlessness in the face of the match
