Riyadh, October 18, 2024 – The Six Kings Slam tennis tournament, a marquee event of the Riyadh Season, has reached a thrilling stage with Italian sensation Jannik Sinner and Spain’s rising star Carlos Alcaraz advancing to the semi-finals. Both players have showcased incredible form and dominance on the court, solidifying their places among the top contenders in this prestigious competition.
In a quarter-final that left fans in awe, Jannik Sinner, currently ranked as the world’s number one, delivered a commanding performance against Daniil Medvedev of Russia.

Not far behind in excellence, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz continued his impressive run in the tournament, defeating Holger Rune of Denmark 6-4, 6-2. Alcaraz, known for his aggressive style of play and athleticism, controlled the match from the outset. His victory against Rune further bolsters his reputation as a future leader in the sport and sets the stage for an exciting continuation of his tournament journey.
As the tournament moves into the semi-final round, the excitement among tennis enthusiasts is palpable. Fans are particularly eager for today’s semi-final showdown between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner. This matchup pits the legendary experience of Djokovic against the youthful ambition of Sinner. Djokovic, a veteran of the sport with numerous Grand Slam titles to his name, will be aiming to use his tactical prowess to outmaneuver the young Italian. On the other hand, Sinner’s rapid ascent to the top of the rankings suggests that this will be a fiercely contested match.
Meanwhile, the second semi-final will witness a much-anticipated all-Spanish battle between Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. Nadal, a beloved figure in tennis and nearing the end of his storied career, faces Alcaraz, a player many consider to be his natural successor. This match is particularly meaningful, not only because of its importance in the tournament but also because it may be one of the final encounters between the two Spaniards before Nadal’s potential retirement. The clash of generations promises to be a highlight of the Six Kings Slam.
