Daniil Medvedev dominated at the 2019 Diriyah Tennis Cup when he lost only 14 games in 3 matches and won the title.

Medvedev was almost flawless in Saudi Arabia. First, he defeated Jan-Lennard Struff, later he defeated David Goffin and in the final, he outplayed Fabio Fognini in just 63 minutes. It was a good beginning of the season for the 2019 US Open finalist and after the tournament, he said:
“I am very happy to be first who won here. if it’s going to go for example twenty years, it will be very cool to be the first one. I just tried to give my best, do my job and entertaining the crowd a little bit. The crowd was not that big but people were cheering and the ceremony it was really amazing and cool. So I have just great memories. Of course, I always try to serve as good as I can and that was a big strength of my match today. My main goal is to win every match I play – of course, it is not possible, but my goal.“
Also, Prince Abdulaziz spoke after the final when he said: “This is only the start of tennis in our country but what an incredible start! I am extremely proud that a perfect platform has been built for tennis to grow. World-class tennis being played to a full stadium and players made to feel right at home. I know this will have inspired a lot of people to pick up a racket, including myself! Already we are discussing plans for an even bigger and better 2020 edition."
