<\/a>Djokovic on Sinner’s performance: ‘He was a runaway train’<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m sorry you couldn’t see a longer match today, it’s his fault, not my fault!\u201d Djokovic laughed after Sinner\u2019s 6-4 6-2 win in the semi-finals. <\/p>\n

\u201cI tried to intimidate him a little bit at that last game with the last 0-15 point, but it didn’t work.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, it felt like a runaway train, you know, he was smacking the ball from all corners.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just trying to, trying to hang in there, but he was just too good, so well done to him and good luck in the finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Six Kings Slam: $6m (\u00a34.5m)<\/p>\n

French Open: $2.9m (\u00a32.17m)<\/p>\n

Australian Open: $2.3m (\u00a31.75m)<\/p>\n

<\/a>Jannik Sinner on his victory over Novak Djokovic<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I think he said everything, no. He’s such a great role model for especially us, the younger generation. Seeing him competing, seeing him practice and training for these moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing. What he has achieved in his career, it’s incredible and you know I see him as a real idol. To play against him is such a huge honor and and privilege.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, obviously, you know, I’m happy about today, but I’m also happy to see him around.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner cruise through to final <\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner<\/a> will face rival Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the final of the big-money Six Kings Slam exhibition after winning his latest meeting with Novak Djokovic<\/a> to extend his winning run against the 24-time grand slam champion. <\/p>\n

With Sinner winning his last six matches against Djokovic, including in the French Open and Wimbledon semi-finals this season, the Italian produced another dominant performance<\/a>. \u201cExcuse my language, but it’s never nice when somebody kicks your ass like this on the court,\u201d Djokovic said after Sinner cruised to an emphatic 6-4 6-2 victory. <\/p>\n

Earlier, Alcaraz made his first appearance since withdrawing from the Shanghai Masters due to an ankle injury, with the World No 1 also finding sensational form as he defeated Taylor Fritz<\/a> 6-4 6-2 behind a stunning array of shots. <\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2018He kicked my a**\u2019: Novak Djokovic sums up brutal reality after defeat to Jannik Sinner<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic admitted Jannik Sinner \u201ckicked my ass\u201d after a heavy defeat to the World No 2 in the semi-finals of the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Sinner had won his last five competitive matches against the 24-time grand slam champion, including straight-sets victories in the semi-finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon this season.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old Djokovic said Sinner and World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz were \u201ctoo good\u201d over best-of-five sets following his semi-final defeat to Alcaraz at last month\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Six Kings Slam reveals what the top tennis players want in 2026<\/p>\n

At a time in the season where the annual debate over what to do about the overpacked and unrelenting tennis calendar swings around once more, it seems there is always room for a little more competition when it comes with a $6m cheque for the champion on the side. Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>, Novak Djokovic<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a> are among the players involved as the Six Kings Slam returns for its second year in Saudi Arabia, with the three-day exhibition in Riyadh offering $1m more to the winner than Alcaraz received when he triumphed at last month\u2019s US Open, itself the biggest prize fund in grand slam history.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz provides worrying injury update ahead of Six Kings Slam match<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been recovering the ankle as much and as good as I can,\u201d explained the 22-year-old Spaniard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel, I would say, 100 per cent, the doubts are there thinking about it a little bit when I\u2019m moving on court.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think it improved a lot and I\u2019m going to compete and perform well here in the Six Kings Slam.\u201d<\/p>\n
