Alcaraz and Sinner Clash in 2025 Six Kings Slam Final

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will face off on Saturday, October 18, in the final of the 2025 Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament. The match follows their previous meeting in the same event last year. This highly anticipated showdown showcases the world No. 1 Alcaraz against No. 2 Sinner, with the top spot in tennis on the line in terms of pride rather than rankings.
Both players reached the final after impressive victories in the semifinals. Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz with a score of 6-4, 6-2, while Sinner overcame Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-2. This marks a continued high-stakes rivalry, as Alcaraz leads their head-to-head record 10-5, but their match does not count toward their official statistics due to the exhibition nature of the tournament.
Alcaraz, who is on an 11-match winning streak, expressed, “If I want to win, I will have to play my best tennis.” In contrast, Sinner has emerged victorious in their last encounter, highlighting their competitive spirit.
The Six Kings Slam, gathering six top male players, is taking place at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, showcasing a knockout format. Among the participants are other champions like Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev, making this tournament a notable event of the Riyadh Season festival.
Fans can watch the highly awaited final on Netflix, which has gained global streaming rights for this competition. The broadcast begins at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET, but viewers are encouraged to tune in early for the third-place match between Djokovic and Fritz. This exhibition aims not just for victory but to enhance the personal legacy of both players as they continue their intense rivalry.
