This will perhaps go down as the most profitable match of Jannik Sinner‘s career. A 5.5 million euro match that the Italian won on Saturday against Carlos Alcaraz, in the final of the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2024/02/a-new-exhibition-tournament-in-saudi-arabia-with-novak-djokovic-and-rafael-nadal/" title="A new exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal”>Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament organized in Saudi Arabia. The world number one, winner in three sets (6-7, 6-3, 6-3), was already guaranteed to pocket nearly 1.4 million euros just by participating in the event. By winning it, he received nearly seven million euros.
Sinner quickly broke away to lead 4-1, but Alcaraz did not give up. The Spaniard fought his way back into the first set before winning the tie-break (7-5). But Sinner did not demobilize. He was able to break away in the next two sets and gain consistency to keep Alcaraz out of reach (6-3, 6-3), much more easily than during their Beijing final at the beginning of the month. And thus ensure a very nice jackpot.
