Overview
- Sinner’s quarterfinal with Stefanos Tsitsipas is scheduled for Wednesday at 18:30 Italian time at Riyadh’s Anb Arena.
- He arrived Sunday night and will train Monday at the venue with coach Simone Vagnozzi and physiotherapist Alejandro Resnicoff after recovering from cramps in Shanghai.
- The exhibition runs Oct. 15–18 with a six-player draw: Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic begin in the semifinals, with quarterfinals on Wednesday, semifinals on Thursday and the final on Saturday.
- Organizers offer large financial incentives, with reported appearance fees around $1.5 million and about $6 million to the winner, and no ATP ranking points at stake.
- If Sinner defeats Tsitsipas, he would face Djokovic in the semifinal and could meet Alcaraz only in a potential final; the field also includes Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz.
