This is a classic "off by one" problem. Think about when your for loop ends. From x=0 to x<9. How many is that?

Did you try going through the code by hand and see what is happening? You start off by setting x to zero, then increment x, so x is now one. Then you enter the inner loop and add ten to x, so x is eleven when you first print it. Also, if you want 10 columns, why do you use x<9 for the inner loop termination condition?

Don't use \n. Use
System.out.println();
Don't use simple print(x). Use
System.out.printf(%02d ", i);

Or better still, append the numbers and space and System.lineSeparator() to a StringBuilder; then you only need one print call.
System.out.println(myStringBuilder);
