When is Alcaraz v Sinner final at Six Kings Slam? Schedule and how to watch

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will meet again in the final of the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. After battles in the finals of Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open this season, the two best players world will compete for the $6m overall prize on Saturday.

Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-2, with Alcaraz also in imposing form as he rolled through Taylor Fritz 6-4 6-2 in the other semi-final. Alcaraz won his last meeting with Sinner at the US Open final last month, with the Spaniard winning seven of their last eight matches.

As it is an exhibition, the Six Kings Slam does not offer rankings points, or count towards official head-to-head records. It is the highest profile men’s tennis event to take place in Saudi Arabia, which has often been accused of using sport and entertainment to whitewash its human rights record.

Riyadh also hosts the end-of-season WTA Finals, due to take place from 1 November, which features the eight best women’s players in the world competing for the year-end prize.
