Sinner eventually claimed a dominant 6-0, 6-3 victory over Medvedev to advance to the semifinals of the Six Kings Slam.
Jannik Sinner took satisfaction in his commanding performance against Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals of the Six Kings Slam, especially given that he had only one practice session in Riyadh before the match.
“It was a very good performance considering I arrived just a couple days ago, not even. And I only had one practice session,” Sinner said in his post-match interview.
“I was looking forward to coming here. It’s a special place. Us players love it. It’s very very new. We are some of the best six tennis players in the world,” he added.
Following his win over Medvedev, the World No. 1 will square off against Novak Djokovic for a place in the final. The highly anticipated encounter will mark a rematch of their recent title clash at the 2024 Shanghai Masters, where Sinner claimed a 7-6(4), 6-3 victory.
If Jannik Sinner emerges victorious against the 24-time Grand Slam champion, he will take on Carlos Alcaraz or Rafael Nadal in a blockbuster final in Riyadh. Alcaraz defeated Holger Rune 6-4, 6-2 to book his place against his fellow Spaniard.
