The Russian may have started his season with a bang, but things have gone downhill for him since then. On the other hand, Shang lost to Medvedev in the opening round at Doha last week and will be desperate for sweet redemption. Can the Chinese sensation knock off the former US Open champion to tie up the rivalry? Let&rsquo;s break down the stats and odds ahead of this key match-up.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Meddy delivers &#128236;<br><br>2023 champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DaniilMedwed?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@DaniilMedwed<\/a> opens with a 6-4, 6-2 victory facing Shang<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/QatarTennis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@QatarTennis<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QatarExxonMobilOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#QatarExxonMobilOpen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lWFSUn7qfP\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/lWFSUn7qfP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ATP Tour (@atptour) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atptour\/status\/2023480129796927787?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 16, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Daniil Medvedev showed signs of resurrection towards the end of 2025, and began the ongoing season with a championship run in Brisbane. He has a solitary Grand Slam title to his name, and boasts 22 tour-level trophies in total. Currently ranked No. 11 in the world, Medvedev has an 8-2 record so far. Juncheng Shang is one of the Russian&rsquo;s casualties, as the 21-year-old was humbled in Doha. Ranked within the Top-50 at one point, Shang has slipped to No. 261 in the world. He made the quarterfinals in Hong Kong before two disheartening outings in Melbourne and Doha.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">18yo Juncheng Shang beats #41 Ben Shelton 6-4, 6-4 to reach the 2nd round in Atlanta.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
