Daniiil Medvedev is just unstoppable. Not just in terms of matches wins - the Russian reached his sixth final in a row - but also in terms of tournaments schedule. The Moscow's Kremlin Cup Tournament Director Amir Tarpischev confirmed the world No. 4 will play the hometown event despite he will face Alexander Zverev on Sunday final in China, which means he will have to soon adapt to the time zone difference and different weather condition. "Daniil Medvedev has just beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the finals of the Masters in Shanghai. This is another achievement in Daniil’s career, our congrats to him. That is also the reason why the arrival of Daniil in Moscow is postponed, but it just fuels interest to the men’s tournament whose lineup is very strong this year. Of course, very interesting matches games await us. For example, the Russian tennis players, both wild card holders, Alibek Kachmazov and Alen Avidzba will face each other in the first round, and then the winner will take on Daniil Medvedev in the second round. I wish luck and success to all Russian tennis players!", said Tarpischev.
The WTA Moscow Tournament Director Alexei Selivanenko said: "Since Natalya Vikhlyantseva has got into the main draw thanks to her ranking, we got the opportunity to hand a wild card into the main draw to the Swiss tennis player Belinda Bencic. Thus as many as three tennis players will compete at our tournament for a place in the WTA Finals in Shenzhen - these are Elina Svitolina, Kiki Bertens and Belinda Bencic. The derby of two girls from Khimki - Anastasia Potapova and Anna Kalinskaya will be very interesting to watch. In general, it turned out to be a very even and well-balanced main draw."
