Medvedev has become infamous for his outbursts – most notably at last year’s US Open, where he had a meltdown<\/a> after a photographer walked on court mid-match.<\/p>\n Afterwards, Berrettini wrote ‘scusa Carlo’ on the camera lens – an apology to Italian actor Carlo Verdone, who called Medvedev his favourite player earlier this week. <\/p>\n Wildcard Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon finalist making his way back up the rankings after a lengthy injury lay-off, said it was “one of the best performances of my life”.<\/p>\n “I think I missed three shots in the entire match,” Berrettini, 29, said.<\/p>\n “I think the game plan was perfect and my weapons were working.”<\/p>\n Former world number six Berrettini will face rising Brazil star Joao Fonseca next.<\/p>\n World number 15 Andrey Rublev also suffered an early exit, losing 6-4 6-1 to Belgium’s Zizou Bergs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
