Italian Berrettini described the win as the best of his career as he became the first ATP player to win a match without losing a single game against a top 10 player in 10 years, when David Goffin defeated Tomas Berdych at the Rome Masters in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was one of the best performances of my life,\u201d Berrettini said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I missed three shots in the entire match and it is not easy against a tricky player like Daniil. I think the game plan was perfect and my weapons were working.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former Wimbledon runner-up will face Joao Fonseca in the last 16.<\/p>\n
Medvedev, who received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct and will certainly receive a major fine for his actions, has yet to speak publicly about his action.<\/p>\n
It was his first match on a clay court this season, a surface he strongly dislikes, saying in the past that it is for \u201closers\u201d and compared it to \u201clike a dog in the dirt\u201d.<\/p>\n
Two-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray told Sky Sports UK that Medvedev should be \u201cembarrassed\u201d by his actions. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is shocking and it shouldn\u2019t happen but it did,\u201d Murray said. \u201cI don\u2019t know how much effect that will have on him going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure he will be pretty embarrassed walking back to the locker room and I\u2019d be wanting to get off site pretty quickly, I think, if that was the performance I put in today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Medvedev has a long history with taking it out on racquets, having smashed a couple during last year\u2019s Wimbledon and US Open tournaments among numerous other misdemeanours during his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Italian Berrettini described the win as the best of his career as he became the first ATP player…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7429,4759,7431,7426,7435,7434,3353,1710,1100,5816,2718,231,7430,7433,7428,7427,7432,28],"class_list":["post-18429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-alltime","tag-berrettini","tag-carlo","tag-daniil","tag-during","tag-epic","tag-hands","tag-in","tag-loss","tag-matteo","tag-medvedev","tag-meltdown","tag-monte","tag-obliterated","tag-racquet","tag-smashes","tag-star","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
