Jannik Sinner triumphed at the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament held in Saudi Arabia with a record-breaking prize pool. In the final, the Italian overcame world number 2 Carlos Alcaraz in a match that further cemented their growing rivalry. Although it was only an exhibition, the match was of the highest quality, with Sinner prevailing in three sets, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3, securing the $6 million prize, the largest ever in a tennis match.
The match lived up to expectations, with both players displaying top-level tennis. In the decisive third set, Sinner proved to be more solid during the critical moments. A double fault by Alcaraz at 4-4 gave Sinner the opportunity to break, and the Italian closed out the match confidently, serving with authority to seal the victory.
This is Sinner’s first win against Alcaraz in 2024, after losing their previous three encounters at Indian Wells, Beijing, and Roland Garros. With this win, their head-to-head record now stands at 6-4 in favor of the Spaniard. Although no ranking points were awarded, the victory reinforces Sinner’s remarkable form as he continues to solidify his position as a leading force in world tennis.
