When is Alcaraz v Sinner final at Six Kings Slam? Schedule and how to watch
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet again in the final of the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. After battles in the finals of Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open this season, the two best players in the world will compete for the $6m overall prize on Saturday.
Sinner thrashed Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-2, with the 38-year-old admitted he had his ass kicked, with Alcaraz also in imposing form as he rolled through Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-2 in the other semi-final. Alcaraz won his last meeting with Sinner at the US Open final last month, with the Spaniard winning seven of their last eight matches.
As it is an exhibition, the Six Kings Slam does not offer rankings points, or count towards official head-to-head records. It is the highest profile men’s tennis event to take place in Saudi Arabia, which has often been accused of using sport and entertainment to whitewash its human rights record.
Riyadh also hosts the end-of-season WTA Finals, due to take place from 1 November, which features the eight best women’s players in the world competing for the year-end prize.

How to watch the Six Kings Slam

Carlos Alcaraz v Jannik Sinner head-to-head
Sinner’s win in the Wimbledon final ended a run of five consecutive defeats to Alcaraz, and came just five weeks after holding five Championship points against him in the French Open final.
However, Alcaraz then produced a masterclass to beat Sinner in the US Open final, and leads their official head-to-head 10-5 after Sinner also retired from their Cincinnati Open final due to illness.
Sinner’s previous victory over Alcaraz in the Six Kings Slam does not count in the official head-to-head because it was an exhibition match.
