Daniil Medvedev suffered a notorious crashout after a historic loss at the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday.
The former world No. 1 smashed his racket seven times in a row midway through a 6-0, 6-0 loss to wildcard Matteo Berrettini. The outburst came after Medvedev fell behind 2-0 in the second set.
He continued to smash his racket against the clay, chasing it down and repeating the tantrum. The crowd egged him on, letting out a drawn-out chant in sync with each swing.
Medvedev eventually made his way to the bench, throwing the broken racket into the garbage can before receiving a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct. He will also likely receive a hefty fine for the outburst.
Medvedev lost the match in 49 minutes, marking his first professional loss without winning a game – also referred to as a double bagel loss.
"I wouldn’t expect to win like that and it doesn’t happen that often," Berrettini, a 2021 Wimbledon finalist, said. "It was definitely one of the best performances of my life."
Medvedev had five double-faults, won just 17 points, and had just 36% of his first serves in play. It was his first clay match of the season.
Medvedev paid a large fine for a similar incident at the U.S. Open last year following a first-round elimination. He was fined $30,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct and an additional $12,500 for racket abuse.
