Going into their second-round clash at the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday, Daniil Medvedev had never lost to Matteo Berrettini, winning all three of their previous meetings.
But those three previous meetings were all on hard courts—and on the slow red clay, it was a much different story.
Berrettini dealt Medvedev a shock 6-0, 6-0 defeat, needing just 49 minutes to record his first win over the world No. 10.
And with that he joined a very exclusive list, becoming just the third man this century—and the fifth man in ATP rankings history, dating back to 1973—to double bagel a Top 10 player.
PLAYERS TO DOUBLE BAGEL TOP 10 OPPONENTS IN ATP RANKINGS HISTORY (since 1973):
- Damir Keretic (No. 10 Noah, 1983 Dusseldorf)
- Ivan Lendl (No. 2 Connors, 1984 Forest Hills)
- Roger Federer (No. 9 Gaudio, 2005 ATP Finals)
- David Goffin (No. 8 Berdych, 2016 Rome)
- Matteo Berrettini (No. 10 Medvedev, 2026 Monte Carlo)
