Daniil Medvedev was knocked out of the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters following a straight-sets defeat to Matteo Berrettini on Tuesday.
The Italian secured a 6-4, 6-2 victory to eliminate the higher-seeded Medvedev and advance to the next round.
Berrettini produced a composed performance, breaking serve at key moments while maintaining consistency from the baseline. Medvedev, meanwhile, struggled to impose himself on the clay surface and was unable to recover after dropping the opening set.
The result marks an early exit for the Russian, while Berrettini moves forward with confidence as the tournament progresses.
