Tennis fans, buckle up 🎾✨! The Six Kings Slam roared back into Riyadh this weekend, dishing out the sport’s richest prize: a jaw-dropping $6 million for the champion.
In a repeat of last year’s epic duel, Italy’s rising star Jannik Sinner went head-to-head with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz. Despite Alcaraz reclaiming the World No. 1 spot with his recent US Open victory, this exhibition was all about cash and bragging rights—no ranking points on the line.
All six contenders—Sinner, Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, and Stefanos Tsitsipas—walked away with $1.5 million just for showing up. But only Sinner secured the full $6 million jackpot, outplaying Alcaraz in straight sets, 6–2, 6–4, on the speedy indoor court that perfectly suited his aggressive game.
At just 24, Sinner pocketed the biggest payday in tennis history 💸, finally ending his losing streak against his fierce rival. Beyond the cash windfall, this victory injects serious confidence as the ATP Finals in Turin beckon next month.
With the momentum on his side and a massive trophy under his arm, Sinner is primed to light up Turin 🔥. Stay tuned—this Italian powerhouse is just getting started!
