Daniil Medvedev didn't end up happy with his adventure in the Rotterdam tournament, furious with the balls and eliminated in the first round. He aims to change the dynamic in the ATP Doha 2026, and what better way to regain his smile than with a convincing victory in his debut. That's exactly what the Russian did, with no issues against Jerry Shang who barely put up a fight (6-4, 6-2). Doha is a tournament that Daniil knows very well and where he has already been champion: perhaps it will be a good gauge to see to what extent his new version can make Alcaraz or Sinner uncertain.
