Taylor Fritz is one win away from securing the lavish winner's check at the Diriyah Tennis Cup in Saudi Arabia. The American prevailed against Cameron Norrie in the semifinals 7: 6 (4), 4: 6 and 10: 6 and will now face Daniil Medvedev in the final. The Russian held his own in two sets against Stan Wawrinka in the afternoon .
Almost a little more attention was paid to the joint doubles appearance by Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas than to the two individual games. The Australian and the Greek, who got into a clinch after this year's third round game in Wimbledon , lost 6:7 (3) and 6:7 (3) to Hubert Hurkacz and Dominic Stricker.
Kyrgios/Tsitsipas, who hardly communicated with each other during their semi-final game, meet Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev in the game for third place. The two were beaten by Matteo Berrettini and Andrey Rublev 3:6 and 6:7 (3).
