For the second consecutive year Jannik triumphs at the Six Kings Slam, beating the Spaniard again in the final 6-2 6-4. The blue remains undefeated indoors since the 2023 Finals and collects another check for 6 million dollars.
The rest after the cramps in Shanghai has given us back the best Jannik Sinner ever. His wonderful tennis in Riyadh is also impossible to counter Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner triumphs in the Six Kings Slam for the second consecutive year, and as in 2024 his victim in the final is the Spaniard. clear victory, 6-2 6-4which once again reaffirms the clear superiority of the South Tyrolean on indoor surfaces, where he has not lost since the final of the 2023 Finals against Novak Djokovic. Sinner thus pockets himself once again the monstrous check for 6 million dollars, achieved in just two hours and 14 minutes of work: that’s how long Jannik’s two challenges in Riyadh lasted overall. Not bad. Absolute domination, confirmation that on the fast surface Jannik is the best even if the ATP ranking says that the Spaniard is number one. Details. These two will have a lot of Slams for the next ten years. They play tennis that is very far from that of their opponents. Different categories.
The match
The first set was a performance by Sinner. There was practically no action on Jannik’s serve, while on Alcaraz’s serve the Spaniard was constantly in difficulty. The South Tyrolean got the break immediately, firing formidable shots from the baseline but also winning the many duels at the net. Alcaraz appeared confused, unable to react to Sinner’s blows. At 3-1 here are three break points and Sinner takes advantage of it. With the service in this partial the blue is unapproachable (55% of firsts but 91% of points when he put it in) and it is until the end, with a 6-2 that allows no replies. Alcaraz seems to be in a bit of difficulty also from a physical point of view, on this surface he is unable to move as usual. In the second set he stays in the match until 3-3, then Sinner breaks the Spaniard’s serve at the second break point and the rest is academic. Sinner is the king of kings in Saudi Arabia for the second time in a row, winning the seventh match against his great rival (even if the official statistics say 5), putting 6 million dollars in his pocket.
