Daniil Medvedev fined $7,000 for smashing his racket 7 times at the Monte Carlo Masters | Tennis News

2 min readApr 14, 2026 01:33 AM IST Former No. 1 Daniil Medvedev was fined 6,000 euros ($7,000) for unsportsmanlike conduct after he smashed his racket seven times during a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Matteo Berrettini at the Monte Carlo Masters last week, the ATP Tour confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday. Medvedev, who is currently ranked 10th, received a code violation for unsportsmanlike conduct by the chair umpire for his actions early in the second set of Wednesday’s match. The fine is small in comparison to the $76,000 and $42,500 that Medvedev was penalized with for outbursts at the Australian Open and U.S. Open last year, respectively. The Russian, who had a first-round bye, had earned 45,520 euros ($50,000) in prize money from the Monte Carlo tournament. The 30-year-old Russian was already struggling when he landed a forehand in the net to drop his opening service game of the second set and fall behind 2-0 and he slammed his racket near the baseline. Then he picked the racket up and threw it toward …

Daniil Medvedev smashes racket during 6-0 6-0 loss in Monte Carlo | Tennis News

2 min readApr 9, 2026 01:12 AM IST Daniil Medvedev smashed his racket several times during a humbling 6-0 6-0 loss to Italian wildcard Matteo Berrettini at the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday, as the world number 10 suffered his first tour-level defeat without winning a game. Medvedev capitulated in 49 minutes, failing to earn a game point on his own serve, and the visibly frustrated Russian destroyed his racket before dumping the remnants in a courtside dustbin. The 30-year-old, who lifted titles in Dubai and Brisbane this year, committed 27 unforced errors. It was the first time Berrettini had won a tour-level match 6-0 6-0 and his first win over a top-10 opponent since defeating Alexander Zverev in Monte Carlo last season. “I think it was one of the best performances of my life,” Berrettini said. “I 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.” Medvedev’s outburst comes amid renewed …

Published by Webster

File photo of Rohan Bopanna© AFP Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (France): Indian ace Rohan Bopanna and Ben Shelton’s men’s doubles campaign at the Monte Carlo Masters ended in the quarterfinals after losing to Monegasque Romain Arneodo and partner Manuel Guinard on Friday. The Indo-American duo came back from a set down but lost in the super tiebreak with the scoreline 6-2, 4-6, 10-7. This was Bopanna’s sixth quarterfinal appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters, a title he famously lifted in 2017. Bopanna-Shelton rallied to a 2-6, 7-6(4), 10-7 second-round victory against third seeds Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori that featured a topsy-turvy match tie-break to make it to the quarterfinals. After his first-round win over Francisco Cerundolo and Alejandro Tabilo, Bopanna became the oldest player ever, in either singles or doubles, to win a match at the ATP Masters 1000 level at the age of 45 years and one month. He broke the previous record held by Canadian legend Daniel Nestor, who was 44 years and 8 months old when he won a match at the 2017 Madrid …

Unseeded Alejandro Tabilo beat twice champion Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-4 in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday to maintain a remarkable 100% record win record over the 24-times major winner. Djokovic, who suffered a shock defeat in the Miami Open final last month, had received a bye into the last-32 but came up short against the Chilean who had also beaten him in Rome last year. “It has been a tough year, so a little bit of the nerves were there,” Tabilo said in an on-court interview. Story continues below this ad “I remembered last time what I did well and thankfully I served well today and it helped me a lot. It was an unreal match.” Tabilo has yet to drop a set against Djokovic as the 27-year-old registered back-to-back wins over the Serbian on clay.

Novak Djokovic Plays Down Monte Carlo Masters Hopes After Eye Infection

Novak Djokovic Plays Down Monte Carlo Masters Hopes After Eye Infection

Published by Webster

World No.5 Novak Djokovic, a finalist at the recent Miami Masters, said on Sunday that he did not have high expectations for the Monte Carlo Masters as he was suffering from the effects of an eye infection. Djokovic is a two-time winner in Monte Carlo but has not won any title since taking the gold medal at the Paris Olympics last summer. The hard courts of Miami marked a return to form even though the 37-year-old lost the final in straight sets to Czech teenager Jakub Mensik. “I’m glad that I found at least in Miami that joy on the court and, I feel, performance level,” said the former world No.1 at a press conference ahead of the tournament. “Let’s see if I can carry that into clay. “It’s obviously a completely different surface and I didn’t have much time to get used to this tournament, so my expectations are not really high for the results here. “It’s more about trying to get matches and as many as possible, and obviously try to …

Yuki Bhambri-Albano Olivetti pair stun Monte Carlo Masters champions

Published by Webster

Yuki Bhambri and his French partner Albano Olivetti pulled off a major upset in the opening round of BMW Open, an ATP 250 clay court event, as they knocked out reigning French Open finalists Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen 4-6, 7-6, 10-6. This win was particularly massive for Bhambri and Olivetti because Gille and Vliegen won the Monte-Carlo Masters last week. Bhambri, currently ranked 59th in the ATP rankings, will be happy to register this win. In January this year, Bhambri, who won the Australian Open junior’s title in 2009, quit men’s singles to focus on doubles. Bhambri and Olivetti have been in fine form of late. Earlier this month, they reached the semifinals of the Marrakech Open, where they lost to second-seeded Lucas Miedler and Alexander Erler of Austria. The unseeded Indo-French pair had lost the gruelling last-four stage match 5-7, 6-3, 7-10 in the ATP 250 event.

Published by Webster

Sumit Nagal became the first Indian to win a main draw match at the Monte Carlo Masters after he defeated World No.38 Matteo Arnaldi of Italy 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 in the opening round on Monday. Nagal also became the first from the country to win a main draw match at one of the three Masters 1000 events – the series that started in 1990 – held on clay. After a long grind back to his best form and level following injury setbacks, Nagal has worked his way up from being ranked outside the top 500 last year. This year, he has turned things around, fighting a lonely battle representing India in top-level singles action. The 26-year-old has gone from strength to strength ever since reaching the second round of the Australian Open at the start of this year, entering the top 100 for the first time in his career. In February, he won a Challenger Tour event – a rung lower the ATP Tour – in Chennai, and followed that up with a semifinal finish …
