When Jannik Sinner plays at the Six Kings Slam: background with Tsitsipas
This is it. The Six Kings Slam, that is, the rich tournament being played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the best six players in the world in the field. Among them, of course, could not miss Jannik Sinner who, after the problems he had in Shanghai, is ready to return to play at his level.
The world number 2 starts in the quarterfinals. Specifically, he will take the court on Wednesday, October 15, to take on Stefanos Tsitsipas. The match will not begin until 8 p.m. Italian time; first Zverev and Fritz will play at 6:30 p.m. If successful, the South Tyrolean will face Nole Djokovic, already in the semifinals. On the’other side, Carlos Alcaraz awaits the winner of the Zverev-Fritz challenge.
The precedents smile on the Greek tennis player (taking over for the injured Jack Draper). Stefanos Tsitsipas leads 6-3 in direct comparisons with Jannik Sinner, although the’last match dates back to the 2024 Monte Carlo tournament (won by the Greek in three sets). On indoor concrete, l’Azzurro has won the two matches played to date.
Now in its second edition, last year’s Six Kings Slam was won by Jannik Sinner himself who, in the final, got the better of Spanish archrival Carlos Alcaraz in three sets (6-7, 6-3, 6-3 the partials). Many are dreaming of yet another challenge between the two best tennis players in the world.
