The two best players in the world collide for the Six Kings Slam crown.

For the sixth time this year, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will collide for ultimate supremacy. Although the 2025 Six Kings Slam is an exhibition event, the two best players in the world will compete for $6 million as well as the chance to be crowned the King of Riyadh. Defending champion Sinner beat Alcaraz in a three-set thriller in the 2024 summit clash – can he repeat the heroics?

Carlos Alcaraz has a 10-5 record in the head-to-head against Jannik Sinner. The Spaniard also won four out of their five meetings in 2025 – including the finals of Roland Garros and US Open.

With several tennis faithful comparing it to the legendary Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal days, Alcaraz and Sinner have a torch to carry forward.
