Daniil Medvedev, ranked world number 10, suffered a shocking defeat at the Monte Carlo Masters, losing 6-0, 6-0 to Matteo Berrettini in the second round on Wednesday. Berrettini, ranked 90th, dominated the match in just 49 minutes, marking the first "double bagel" loss of Medvedev's career. Medvedev's frustration led to him smashing his racquet during the second set. Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev overcame a slow start to defeat Cristian Garin in three sets. Zverev, aiming for his first Monte Carlo title, rallied from a set down and a significant deficit in the third set to secure his victory. Berrettini will face Joao Fonseca in the next round, while Zverev advances after his comeback win.
