At this moment, Sinner and Alcaraz seem to be the only two players able to retrace the steps of the Big 3 who have monopolized the ATP tour for about 20 years. The hope of fans and insiders is that some other young talent will fit in the fight, but at the moment the difference in level is really remarkable.

Jannik Sinner has made an unusual confession about his rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz. The world No. 1 beat the Spaniard in the final of the Six Kings Slam exhibition to pocket a record £4.6million prize money cheque. Afterwards, Sinner said he “wakes up in the morning” thinking about how to beat the four-time Grand Slam champion.

The future faces of tennis squared off on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in three sets in the finals of the Six Kings Slam: 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3.

The last act of the Six Kings Slam will be played tonight in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). The most awaited final will be played between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, number one and two in the ATP ranking. Both players had to face top-level opponents on their way to the final.

Jannik Sinner has lost all three of his matches against Carlos Alcaraz on the ATP Tour this season, but he came out on top in the Six Kings Slam final in Riyadh
