Jannik Sinner won the Six Kings Slam for the second time! The Italian dominated the world leader and won $4.5 million

• The small final was won by Taylor Fritz (27 years old, 4 ATP), who won 7-6 (4) the first set against Novak Djokovic (38 years old, 5 ATP), after which the Serb abandoned. The game's opening sequence lasted an hour and 16 minutes.

After Carlos Alcaraz won 4 out of 5 finals against Jannik Sinner this season, the Italian produced an exceptional performance at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia and scored a clear victory over the Spaniard, 6-2, 6-4, to clinch the Six Kings Slam.

The 24-year-old started strongly and broke in the first game of the match. Sinner continued to play very well, while Alcaraz seemed out of sorts and lacked the motivation he shows in official matches. As a result, after 27 minutes, the world number 2 won the opening set 6-2.

Alcaraz started the second sequence better and led 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2, but it was Sinner who broke the rhythm and broke. The Italian was in excellent form, finding some incredible shots and sending a message to his rival. Sinner prevailed 6-2, 6-4 and, just like in 2024, became the Six Kings Slam champion.

On his way to the final, Jannik Sinner got past Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic without dropping a set.

Jannik Sinner: “We need players like Carlos to stay motivated”

When Jannik plays at this level it is very difficult. Today I think it was very good, a high level of tennis. I don't really like it [când joacă așa]. Sometimes it looks like they're playing ping pong so it's not fun to be on the other side of the net. But I always say that when he plays like that it motivates me to go back to training and work harder. So, yes, sometimes it's annoying, but it also motivates me

– Carlos Alcaraz

That's a good question (no why does he play so well in Riyadh), I wish I could play like that everywhere. First of all, it's great to play against Carlos. You had a great season with many trophies won. We came here because we like to play here. Thank you for coming to see us, the organization is excellent.

We need players like Carlos to stay motivated. I lost many times against him and you want to get better so you need rivals. It's great to have a beautiful rivalry, but especially a special friendship
