The South Tyrolean, fresh from his triumph in Shanghai, challenges the Russian in the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia

After beating him in the quarterfinals in Shanghai (a tournament he then won in the final against Djokovic), thus bringing the head-to-head record to a draw (7-7), Jannik Sinner challenges Daniil Medvedev in the opening match of the Six Kings Slam , an exhibition tournament scheduled from 16 to 19 October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a prize pool never seen before. As for the prize pool , the winner will receive a whopping six million dollars. In addition, in this tournament, there will be the chance to see Nadal in one of his last official appearances. The world number one will open the competition program, facing Medvedev in what has now become an important tennis rivalry.

Sinner and Medvedev have faced each other 14 times: the challenge between the two tennis players began in 2020 and the South Tyrolean is leading it with 8 victories against the Russian's 6. After Medvedev's first 6 successes, the world number 1 has only won: the most recent dates back to the quarterfinal of the Shanghai Masters 1000 , in which Sinner imposed himself with great authority (6-1, 6-4) and then went on to triumph in the tournament.
