Daniil Medvedev
Diriyah Tennis Cup champion Daniil Medvedev is calling for Saudi Arabia's first tennis tournament to become a regular tour fixture, insisting the event has the makings of becoming one of the sport's best.
World No. 5 Medvedev came out on top in the weekend's history-making event played out at the stunning Diriyah Arena
The tournament, organized by BSG Sports Group, welcomed eight of the world's best players, who competed for the lion's share of a $3m prize purse across three-days of thrilling hard-court tennis, held in the same 15,000-seater arena that hosted the epic Clash On The Dunes boxing bout just a week earlier.
"I really loved everything here - organisation, court, fans, people. Everything was super great and hopefully it's not going to stop and I'm going to come back next year. I think in three or four years it could be one of the best tournaments on Tour," Medvedev said.
