Already at the end of the season, with only the Paris Masters 1000 and the ATP Finals remaining as important events, the Six Kings Slam appeared as an ideal opportunity to bring together the best players in the world, who were tempted by the organization of the event with a succulent sum of money.
At the start of the exhibition held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev (5th) never managed to settle on the court, suffering from the beginning of the Italian’s freshness and power Jannik Sinner (1st), who won 6-0 and 6-3 this Wednesday in only 69 minutes of play to permanently eliminate it from the competition.
However, Gilles Cervara’s pupil, who fell in eight of his last nine matches against the world number, will have more than valid reasons to justify his fleeting presence on the Asian cement, where he received 1.5 million dollars just for participating, like his executioner, the Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz (2nd) and Rafael Nadal (151st), and the Dane Holger Rune (14th), who could quadruple the prize if they lift the trophy.
In his last stop before the tournament that calls for the eight of the season, the owner of 20 titles will compete for the seventh time in the competition organized in the French capital, where he has a total of 10 wins and five losses, highlighting his coronation in 2020, when he won 5 -7, 6-4 and 6-1 to the German Alexander Zverev (3rd).
