Six Kings Slam: Sinner Rolls Past Tsitsipas and Sets Up Another Duel Against Djokovic
The suspense didn't last long. Sinner, imperial against a rhythm-lacking Tsitsipas, sets up a face-off against Djokovic in the competition's semifinals, just like last year.
Unsurprisingly, Jannik Sinner will be in the semifinals of the Six Kings Slam. The world No. 2 encountered no difficulty in dispatching Stefanos Tsitsipas, who has been absent from the tour since the Davis Cup last month.
In 1 hour and 16 minutes of play and with a score of 6-2, 6-3, Sinner earned the right to face Novak Djokovic tomorrow, who received a bye in this exhibition. The two players will meet for the third time this year after two semifinals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
They also faced off in this event last year, with the Italian winning in three sets (6-2, 6-7, 6-4).
Tsitsipas, like Zverev earlier on Wednesday, leaves Saudi Arabia with the sum of $1.5 million. This is a guaranteed amount for all participants.
