Six Kings Slam 2025: Dates, Prize Money, Players, TV Channel, Live Stream, Results, and Results
Jannik Sinner delivered a dominant performance to defeat rival Carlos Alcaraz and capture the prestigious Six Kings Slam title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Sinner, who lost the world number one ranking to Alcaraz after the US Open, gained sweet revenge with a commanding 6-2, 6-4 victory.
The 24-year-old Italian earned a reported $6 million (£4.5 million) from the event — including $4.5 million (£3.4 million) in prize money and a $1.5 million (£1.1 million) participation fee.
While the two stars shared all four Grand Slam titles this season, Sinner controlled this match from start to finish. He broke Alcaraz’s serve in the opening game and cruised through the first set with precise serving and relentless pressure.
In the second set, Sinner broke again in the seventh game and sealed the win to claim the exhibition title for a second straight year.
“I wish I could play like this everywhere,” Sinner said. “Carlos and I have had many battles this season, and it’s an honour to share the court with him. Rivalries like this push both of us to improve, but it’s even better that we share a great friendship off the court.”
Six of the world’s top male players competed in the three-day event, streamed globally on Netflix. Despite being an exhibition — meaning results don’t count toward ATP rankings — the competition drew huge attention for its high stakes and elite lineup.
Alcaraz had earlier defeated Taylor Fritz in straight sets to reach the final, while Sinner overpowered 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, who later withdrew from his third-place match after losing the opening set.
Sinner and Alcaraz have now met in each of the past three Grand Slam finals, cementing one of tennis’s most exciting modern rivalries.
“When Jannik plays like this, it’s tough to stop him,” Alcaraz said. “He motivates me to train harder and get better. Sometimes it’s annoying,” he joked, “but it’s also what drives me.”
