Tsitsipas and Medvedev famously started their rivalry with a spiky encounter at the Miami Open more than six years ago. It ended with Medvedev claiming his opponent calling him a “bulls*** Russian” as he told the world No. 12 to “shut your f*** up”.

In a match slated for Tuesday, Daniil Medvedev (No. 5 in rankings) will meet Stefanos Tsitsipas (No. 12) in the Round of 16 at the Rolex Shanghai Masters. Over his last 10 tournaments, Tsitsipas has won 23.2% of his return games and 83.6% of his service games.

Stefanos faced Carlitos at the French Open for the second year in a row and failed to win a single set, giving the feeling of being at the mercy of his opponent. Tsitsipas' season cannot be considered fully satisfactory ( despite his triumph in Monte Carlo ), nor can Medvedev's, who has yet to win a title this year.

Both Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas served sweet revenge at the Shanghai Masters on Friday, vanquishing old foes in straight sets as they progressed through to the third round.
