After dropping his opening service game in the second set to fall 2-0 behind, Medvedev slammed his racquet near the baseline, then hurled it toward the back of the court. Still furious, he repeatedly smashed it until it was completely destroyed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">WATCH: Medvedev smashed his racquet seven successive times<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Berrettini\u2019s flawless display<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>While Medvedev struggled, Berrettini delivered one of the finest performances of his career. The Italian, currently ranked No. 90 and playing on a wild card, dominated from start to finish in a one-sided contest that lasted just 49 minutes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t expect to win like that and it doesn\u2019t happen that often,\u201d Berrettini said after the match.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The statistics underlined the gulf between the two players. Medvedev committed five double faults, landed just 36% of his first serves, and won only 17 of 67 points. In contrast, Berrettini was near flawless, missing just a handful of shots throughout the match.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Rare \u2018<\/span><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">double bagel<\/span><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">\u2019 shock<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>According to Opta, Berrettini became only the fifth player since the ATP Rankings began in 1973 to defeat a top-10 opponent 6-0, 6-0 \u2014 a rare scoreline known as a \u201cdouble bagel.\u201d The last such instance came a decade ago when David Goffin routed Tomas Berdych.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The result marked a dramatic reversal in their rivalry, with Medvedev having won all three of their previous meetings.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Coming into the match, Medvedev had shown solid form on hard courts, including a recent run to the final at Indian Wells where he defeated world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
