Jannik Sinner, world number 2, won for the second consecutive year the Six Kings Slam on the indoor concrete ndi Riyadh by beating in the final 6-2 6-4 the number 1, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, in just over an hour and ten minutes of play.

Jannik breaks immediately in the first game of the match, then stretches further in the fifth thus going up 5-1 and then winning the set on the first set point.

A little more tightly contested second set, but Alcaraz, in the very long fifth game, has to save four break points, including two consecutive ones, before surrendering service in the fateful seventh game.

Sinner, without conceding a single break ball and surrendering only eight points in nine service rounds, again won the very rich exhibition in the capital of Saudi Arabia, but nothing changed in the world rankings since the tournament did not put ATP points up for grabs.
