While the off-season is still underway, tennis attention will turn to the Middle East with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hosting the Diriyah Tennis Cup between December 8-10 2022.

The draw has been complete ahead of play starting on Thursday morning with first round action set.

In the opening match, Stan Wawrinka will face Matteo Berrettini, with Dominic Thiem who returned to some of his best form towards the back end of 2022 facing Alexander Zverev - who has only played once since his horrific injury at Roland Garros. The winner faces Daniil Medvedev with the Quarter-Finals also on the opening day.

Stefanos Tsitsipas gets a bye through to face either Cameron Norrie or a hotly anticipated clash with Nick Kyrgios, while Taylor Fritz faces the winner of Hubert Hurkacz or Dominic Stricker. The Wawrinka-Berrettini winner faces Andrey Rublev in the same section as Thiem, Zverev and Medvedev.
