The same scene that captured the world’s attention last year was renewed in Riyadh this evening (Thursday), as Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz and Italian Jannik Sinner once again advanced to the final of the “Six Kings Slam 2025” tournament, held as part of Riyadh Season, following their impressive victories in the semifinals at ANB Arena amid an exceptional crowd atmosphere.
In the first semifinal match, Alcaraz delivered a commanding performance against American Taylor Fritz, winning in straight sets (6–4, 6–2). Demonstrating his superb fitness and full control over the match’s rhythm from start to finish, Alcaraz sealed his place in the final with confidence after a complete display that underscored his readiness to compete for the title. The match drew a number of celebrities and influencers, most notably American influencer Speed, who energized the crowd with his signature enthusiasm during Alcaraz’s points, adding an entertaining flair to the arena’s atmosphere.
In the second clash, defending champion Jannik Sinner continued his impressive form, defeating Serbian star Novak Djokovic, who received exceptional support from his passionate fans, in straight sets (6–4, 6–2). Sinner’s composed performance was marked by high mental focus and precise baseline play, securing him a place in the final for the second consecutive year.
With Alcaraz and Sinner advancing, all eyes now turn to Saturday’s anticipated final, which brings the two stars together once again in a rematch of last year’s title showdown—when Sinner claimed the championship after a thrilling encounter. This year, Alcaraz enters the final seeking redemption and the opportunity to reclaim the crown he lost in the previous edition, in a purely European duel that showcases the Spanish school’s power and speed against the Italian school’s precision and tactical intelligence.
