Six Kings Slam, Jannik Sinner charges his fans ahead of the final and again honors Novak Djokovic
A day off for Jannik Sinner, who will play the final of the Six Kings Slam on Saturday after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the preliminary round and Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the ongoing exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. The South Tyrolean has every intention of taking a rematch on the court against Carlos Alcaraz and charged his fans with a message via social media, in which he, among other things, again honored his opponent in the semifinals.
“It feels great to be back on the court, I am really happy with yesterday–s match, wrote the current world No. 2, who aims to regain the first position occupied by Alcaraz himself – It is always a great honor and a privilege to share the court with Novak Djokovic. Thank you all for the incredible support, see you tomorrow in the final! ”
While not counting from a statistical point of view, the exhibition match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz is certainly eagerly awaited by all fans given the on-court rivalry between the two, who have faced each other in five finals in 2025 alone, with the Murcian winning on four occasions (Rome, Roland Garros, Cincinnati by retirement, and US Open) and the South Tyrolean triumphant at Wimbledon.
The two had also faced each other last year in the final at the Six Kings Slam: Jannik Sinner won, with a score of 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-3. The tournament also features a final for third and fourth place: last year it’s Novak Djokovic won it against Rafa Nadal, this year it will again see the Serb take the lead against Taylor Fritz, who was defeated in the semifinals by Alcaraz.
