Tsitsipas: With Kyrgios or Nori on Thursday evening at the Diriyah Tennis Cup
On Thursday evening (December 8th) Stefanos Tsitsipas will meet either Nick Kyrgios or Cameron Norrie in the exhibition tournament of the Diriyah Tennis Cup, which will take place in Riyadh.
The draw for the very strong Riyadh Showcase Tournament in Saudi Arabia has taken place.
Ranked #1 on the board.
The Greek champions will start their duties from the ‘8’ stage with a very possible great derby with Nick Kyrgios close by. Demonstration tournament, but based on the history of the two, such a match might not be as… friendly in character. It will look more formal.
From then on, whoever finds themselves in the semifinals between Tsitsipas, Kyrgios and Norry will meet Taylor Fritz, Hubert Hurkatz and Dominic Stricker.
As for the bottom of the board, 2nd is Danil Medvedev, who will also have a bye in the 1st round while he meets one of Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals.
In the replay of the final between them at the US Open 2020, Thiem and Zverev will meet in the most ambiguous pair of the 1st round.
Andrei Rublev, Matteo Berretini and Stanislas Wawrinka are the three tennis players of the 3rd quadrant.

In the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, Elina will play against US world number three Coco Gauff, who won her fourth round match against Carolina Muchova.
Svitolina reached the quarter-finals at the Australian Open for the fourth time, specifically for the second time in a row. Elina has never reached the semi-finals so far. In total, this will be Elina’s 14th quarter-final appearance in her career at Grand Slam tournaments.
Elina won her seventh victory at the slams against a tennis player ranked in the top 10 of the WTA rankings. In total he has 44 victories at Tour level.
Svitolina continued her winning streak to nine matches. She won the cup at the WTA 250 competition in Auckland in the first week of 2026 and beat Andreeva, as well as Kristina Buksha, Linda Klimovichova and Diana Schneider in Melbourne.

38-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (ATP 4) reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Australian Open ahead of schedule.
On January 26, Novak was supposed to play in the fourth round against the representative of the Czech Republic, Jakub Mensik (ATP 17). However, the meeting will not take place – Meshik withdrew from the fight due to an abdominal muscle injury.
“After doing everything we could to continue my performance, I had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that got worse in the last matches. Despite the disappointment, I will remember for a long time my debut in the fourth round of this tournament. I felt great energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was really special,” said Yacoub.
The winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, ATP 5) and Taylor Fritz (USA, ATP 9) will be Novak’s next opponent.
Djokovic will play in the quarter-finals of the major tournament in Melbourne for the 16th time in his career and will compete in the semi-finals for the 13th time.
