Jannik Sinner Wins Six Kings Slam in Riyadh

Jannik Sinner triumphed at the inaugural Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, defeating Carlos Alcaraz 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 and securing a record-breaking $6 million prize, the largest in tennis history. This victory marked Sinner's first win over Alcaraz this season, breaking a three-match losing streak against the Spaniard, although the match is unofficial and won't affect their official head-to-head record. Despite ongoing issues related to two failed drug tests earlier in the year, which may lead to a ban from tennis in 2025, Sinner celebrated his achievement, highlighting the rivalry with Alcaraz as a motivating factor in his performance. Alcaraz expressed his gratitude for their competitive relationship, emphasizing the growth it brings to both players. Additionally, all six participants in the event were guaranteed $1.5 million for their appearances, reflecting the rising prominence of tennis in Saudi Arabia.
