The top-two in the world will renew acquaintances on Saturday, and organisers of the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia<\/a> will hope for another fine instalment after stellar battles at Roland Garros<\/a>, Wimbledon<\/a> and at the US Open<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Six-time grand-slam champion Alcaraz comfortably beat Taylor Fritz<\/a> 6-4 6-2 and Sinner claimed victory by the same score over an ailing Novak Djokovic<\/a> later on the second day of the contentious event, which is not ATP<\/a>-sanctioned and has attracted criticism.<\/p>\n

Top seed Alcaraz, who argued pre-match that players can be vocal against the packed tennis calendar and play short exhibitions<\/a>, never looked back against Fritz after a break to move 3-2 up.<\/p>\n

After Alcaraz clinched the opener with his second set point, a superb drop shot sealed the first break of the second set in the fifth game and five games in a row sent the Spaniard into Saturday\u2019s showpiece where a reported six million dollars is on offer for the winner.<\/p>\n

Sinner made light work of Djokovic after similar one-side battles over the past 12 months with the 24-time major champion.<\/p>\n

The Italian was able to break Djokovic in the third game after an excellent rally and two aces closed out set one.<\/p>\n

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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Six Kings Slam finalists have been revealed after Thursday\u2019s semi-finals.
