Sinner Dominates Alcaraz to Win $6 Million Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. Jannik Sinner produced a stunning display to defeat rival Carlos Alcaraz 6–2, 6–4 and claim the Six Kings Slam title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Italian, 24, earned a total of $6 million (£4.5m) — including $4.5m in prize money and a $1.5m participation fee — after avenging his US Open final loss to Alcaraz. Sinner, who was replaced as world number one by Alcaraz in September, dominated from the start, breaking serve in the opening game and maintaining control throughout. “I wish I could play like this everywhere,” Sinner said, praising their “special friendship” and calling their rivalry “a huge pleasure and honour.” Alcaraz, who beat Taylor Fritz to reach the final, admitted, “When Jannik is playing at this level, it’s always difficult… today he was just too good.” The exhibition event featured six of the world’s top men’s players, including Novak Djokovic, who retired from his third-place match after losing the first set to Fritz. The tournament, streamed on Netflix, does not count towards ATP rankings, though its lucrative rewards and high-profile line-up have drawn global attention. Saudi Arabia’s growing investment in elite sports — described by critics as “sportswashing” — continues to stir debate over its human rights record.
