Taylor Fritz beat Cameron Norrie

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).
