Jannik Sinner is already in Riyadh to compete in the second edition of the Six Kings Slam. The world number two will make his debut this Wednesday in the Saudi exhibition tournament against Stefanos Tsitsipas, fully prepared to start his defense of the 'title' he won last year against Carlos Alcaraz.

However, there were doubts about the presence of Jannik Sinner in this edition after the cramp episode he suffered at the Shanghai ATP against Tallon Griekspoor. The pains were so severe that the Italian couldn't even walk. That extinguished any possibility of snatching the number one spot in the ATP ranking from Carlos Alcaraz. However, after a few days of recovery in Italy, the 23-year-old is ready to compete again.

This was stated in a press conference before his match against Stefanos Tsitsipas, and in statements collected by Univers Tennis. There, he talked about the importance of this innovative tournament, the cramps suffered in Shanghai, and the recent tournaments in what seems to be never-ending year.

Jannik Sinner on his cramps suffered at the ATP Shanghai upon arrival at the Six Kings Slam

"I took two days off, and then we got back to work: I feel good physically and mentally. The conditions were very tough that week, but now everything is back to normal. I think it was a psychological factor. I talked with my team: from that point of view, it wasn't perfect, but now everything is fine."

"The mistake was mine: the heat and humidity affected me and I collapsed. You learn from these things: cramps can happen, and I was one of many who suffered them."

Happy to be back in Riyadh

"I'm happy to play here for the second consecutive year. Every year is different, every tournament has its own story. There are very good opponents, and we will see what I can do this time. Playing against Tsitsipas will be tough because he serves very well and moves very well, but I will try to play my best tennis."

Ready for the rest of the season

"We are ready here and for the upcoming tournaments, including the ATP Vienna, the Paris Masters 1000, and the ATP Finals in Turin. I hope to finish the year in the best possible way," said Jannik Sinner, who arrives at the Six Kings Slam aiming to enjoy and repeat the six-million-dollar prize from last year economically. Sportswise, in this final stretch of the season, he is aware of the difficulty of regaining the number one spot currently held by Carlos Alcaraz.
