Jannik Sinner after his win over Carlos Alcaraz at the Six Kings Slam

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz once again collided in the final, and it seems they are trading shots. Before the Six Kings Slam, the last time they played in a final was in the 2025 US Open, where Carlos Alcaraz came out on top.

This time in Riyadh, the Italian exacted this revenge as he defeated Alcaraz 6-2, 6-4 in the final. After the game, Sinner shared his admiration for the Spaniard.

"This season we played many, many times and I also lost many times to Carlos," Sinner said. "It is a huge pleasure and honour to share the court with him. At the same time, you want to get better as a player and you need rivalries in the sport. So it’s nice to have a great rivalry and more importantly a great friendship off the court."

The two will now shift their focus to the ATP Finals in Turin.
