A Golden Racket: The Extravagant Trophy Given to Jannik Sinner After His Six Kings Slam Victory
Winner for the second consecutive year of the Six Kings Slam, Jannik Sinner dominated Carlos Alcaraz in the final before receiving a truly unique trophy: a gold-plated racket.
The second edition of the Six Kings Slam concluded with Jannik Sinner's victory over Carlos Alcaraz (6-4, 6-2).
As in 2024, the Italian won the duel against his rival and will leave Saudi Arabia with the sum of $7.5 million ($6 million for his victory in the final + $1.5 million guaranteed for his participation).
As the Saudis like to do things in a big way, Sinner received a gold-plated racket from the organizers.
There is no doubt that it is one of the most original trophies in his collection, even though it has no real value, as the Six Kings Slam remains merely an exhibition event.
