both easily navigated last-four ties at the lucrative Six Kings Slam on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>After stellar battles at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and at the US Open earlier this year, organisers of this week&#8217;s exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia will hope for another fine instalment when the top-two in the world renew acquaintances on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Six-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz comfortably beat Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-2 and Sinner claimed victory by the same score over an ailing Novak Djokovic later on the second day of the contentious event, which is not ATP-sanctioned and has

Kings Slam<\/p>\n<p>The Italian was able to break Djokovic in the third game after an excellent rally and two aces closed out set one.<\/p>\n<p>When Djokovic was broken at the start of the second set, the writing was on the wall for the 38-year-old who suffered a seventh successive defeat to Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>Top seed Alcaraz, who argued pre-match that players can be vocal against the packed tennis calendar and play short exhibitions, never looked back against Fritz after a break to move 3-2 up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please
