Daniil Medvedev won the 2019 Diriyah Tennis Cup when he defeated Fabio Fognini 6-2 and 6-2 in the final.
Medvedev was almost flawless in Saudi Arabia. First, he defeated Jan-Lennard Struff, losing only 4 games during the match. Later he defeated David Goffin, losing just 6 games.
In the final, he faced Fabio Fognini. He spoke about the Italian ahead of the match when he said: "It’s never easy to play Fabio, a tricky opponent – he played amazing today, hitting some amazing shots, he’s a really tough opponent. The main goal for me is to win the tournament."
Medvedev started the match perfectly when he broke Fognini's service game to gain an early lead. He later added another break to win the first set 6-2 in just 24 minutes.
In the second set, Medvedev started with a break again. He did not allow Fognini to have any breakpoints during the match and added another break in the second set to secure the lead. Medvedev won the second set 6-2 to win the 2019 Diriyah Tennis Cup.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
