Jannik Sinner stormed past Novak Djokovic in just over an hour, winning 6–4, 6–2 and booking his place in the final of the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. On Saturday evening, he’ll once again face Carlos Alcaraz, echoing the 2024 final. The Italian was in complete control from the start. A single break early in the first set was enough for Sinner to close it 6–4, without facing a single break point. The second set was even more one-sided: Sinner broke twice to lead 4–1, saved two break points with remarkable composure, and sealed the match 6–2. Djokovic, visibly out of rhythm, struggled to counter the Italian’s precision and power on serve. In total, Sinner converted all three of his break chances and allowed only two, both erased with cold efficiency. With the win — achieved in just one hour and one minute — Sinner now meets Alcaraz, who earlier defeated Taylor Fritz by the same scoreline. The world’s top two players will once again face off for the title and a record-breaking prize purse in the Saudi capital.
