The off-season events start with the 2022 Diriyah Tennis Cup in Saudi Arabia and it features a very good draw full of stars.
From December 8th until 10th, the 2022 Diriyah Tennis Cup will take place in Arena at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Diriyah. Some of the highest-ranked players on the ATP Tour will battle in front of the crowd in Saudi Arabia as the winner will take home $1 million in prize money.
Since the Diriyah Tennis Cup is an exhibition event, the draw is quite unusual for tennis fans as it features only twelve players. Stefanos Tsitsipas is the first-seeded in Saudi Arabia and already in the second round, we can see a heat clash between the Greek and Nick Kyrgios, who will play Cameron Norrie in the first round.
Taylor Fritz, no. 4 seed received a bye as all top-four players and he will meet Hubert Hurkacz or Dominic Stricker in the quarterfinals. Stan Wawrinka and Matteo Berrettini will fight for quarterfinal spot against the third-seeded Andrey Rublev.
The 2020 US Open finalists and very good friends, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev will meet once again. Winner of this match will play against the second-seeded Daniil Medvedev.
