"Sinner takes over the throne of Arabia"
The world number one imposes himself as the favorite in the grand final against the Spanish tennis player to win the Six Kings Slam 2024.
Jannik Sinner is crowned the winner of the Six Kings Slam 2024 after staging a great comeback against Carlos Alcaraz with a final score of 6-7(5), 6-3, and 6-3 in 2 hours and 21 minutes of play. The Spaniard regained ground after a slow start, although the world number one once again proves why he is currently the best player in the world.
They were already joking even before stepping onto the court due to the confusion in the introductions, once again demonstrating the good humor that characterizes them, also evident throughout this exhibition tournament. The count of Grand Slams significantly decreased from Novak Djokovic's and Rafa Nadal's 46 Grand Slams to Carlos's and Jannik's 6, a different rivalry, the latter one that has been building up and typically does not disappoint in their battles.
The Italian was the first to take control of the match, but the pace of the clash hit back with an Alcaraz who rose to the occasion. Holding on in the deadlock, the first set was decided in a tiebreak. Keeping with tradition, the world numbers one and two exchanged points at a tremendously high pace, with the Murcian winning the tiebreak and sending a strong warning to his opponent.
Sinner lands the final blow
Carlos stepped up the pace by approaching the net more, but Jannik caught onto his intentions to take the lead on the scoreboard. Although the world number two seemed to be repeating the dynamic of the first set, Sinner shifted into high gear to force the deciding set. The excitement persisted until the final moments of the final, when the tiebreak finally gave in to a Sinner who completed the comeback in this manner.
