Six kings slam 2025

[Hitman]

LOL - Look at that celebration.

 

[Pheasant]

What a hold by Alcaraz! That was huge. Let’s see how Sinner responds to that grueling game. So far, Sinner has served great.

 

[Hitman]

What a forehand winner by Alcaraz, nice exchange.

 

[Pheasant]

What a laser by Carlos. 30-30 now

 

[Incognito]

LOL - Look at that celebration.

In normal matches even 250, he would scream Vamoooos after that hold. There’s not much fight in him today I feel.

 

[Pheasant]

Danger time. Double break point.

 

[Wesling]

Alcaraz has better shot tolerance

 

[Hitman]

Break!! wow!

 

[Pheasant]

What a return by Sinner. Sinner is now in full control.

 

[Djumhur]

Sinner indoor is the best. Thats simple

 

[Pheasant]

133 mph ace by Sinner.

 

[Djumhur]

Alcaraz cant play indoor. His serve and return are not that effective as outdoor

 

[Hitman]

One game away now.

 

[clayqueen]

Alcaraz cant play indoor. His serve and return are not that effective as outdoor

Sinner is just too good.

 

[tennisjedi]

Alcaraz's performance is flat but Sinner is also serving and returning too well today.

 

[Incognito]

Alcaraz cant play indoor. His serve and return are not that effective as outdoor

There is no roof I think

 

[Incognito]

Alcaraz's performance is flat but Sinner is also serving and returning too well today.

True

 

[Succession]

Good thing for me as an Alcaraz fan is I never cared or got excited about indoor tennis ever heheh

 

[jazzu4ia]

...this surface is too fast for charly...does not suit him...

 

[clayqueen]

The six-player event has taken place over three days, live on Netflix, with every player earning a $1.5m appearance fee and a massive $4.5m going to the overall winner.

It's more than an Exho.

 

[Djumhur]

Alcaraz cant even return Sinners second serve

 

[tudwell]

Fritz-Djokovic was the most competitive match of the entire tournament and it ended after one set lol.

 

[Hitman]

Sinner wins. What a dominant performance, his serve was close to unplayable.

 

[Pheasant]

The Sinner from late-2024 to early 2025 is back. And he’s serving like he did back then as well.

Congrats to Sinner for a dominating 6 Kings showing.

 

[Fedforever]

If it wasn't Saudi you'd think Novak and Carlos had made plans to go out on a bender tonight and were just getting through as quickly as possible....

 

[dking68]

Sinner wins. What a dominant performance, his serve was close to unplayable.

Is he playing Paris Masters? He's got to win a M1000 to boot the season

 

[Djokovic2011]

Alcaraz cant play indoor. His serve and return are not that effective as outdoor

Reminds me of another great Spanish player of recent times.

 

[Hitman]

Is he playing Paris Masters? He's got to win a M1000 to boot the season

He is playing it.

 

[Rattie]

Sinner needed that win, Alcaraz didn’t. It showed.

 

[JMR]

You can’t compare these exhos to national competitions as relevant as the Davis Cup — even if Piqué did plenty to undermine it.
And the impossibility of matchups at Davis Cup is more rare. In Laver Cup is more or less 50% of the field.

The "relevance" of Davis Cup is largely a memory. And impossible matchups are actually far more numerous in DC, because the total number of participants throughout the course of the event is greater than in the Laver Cup. E.g., if one nation's team consists of just four players, that's already six potential singles matchups that cannot occur. Multiply this by all the national teams taking part.

Also, the inability of Alcaraz to face Sinner in the Laver Cup is a transitory factor and thus a poor justification for any decision by the ATP about whether to recognize the results in some fashion. Evidently the ATP agreed, given the choice it made.

What about the third placer? How much does he get? How much does Fritz get?

 

[mehdimike]

I feel like unlike the last year's match, Carlos didn't care that much and kinda didn't take the match that serious.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Is he playing Paris Masters? He's got to win a M1000 to boot the season

Assuming he'll be fully fit he should win Paris fairly comfortably this year.

 

[tennisjedi]

Runner up should get $3 million, no?

 

[clayqueen]

Reminds me of another great Spanish player of recent times.

Do you mean the one who bageled Djokovic indoors at the 2020 Roland Garros Final?

 

[clayqueen]

Runner up should get $3 million, no?

It's winner takes all.

 

[tennisjedi]

I feel like unlike the last year's match, Carlos didn't care that much and kinda didn't take the match that serious.

It sure felt that way. Maybe Alcaraz didn't want to go all out because he's still resting his ankle in time for the Paris Masters?

For whatever reason, Laver Cup matches being valid for H2Hs is wrong. It is an exhibition tournament.

 

[Djokovic2011]

That's the one. And you know fine well I'm talking about indoor HC.

 

[clayqueen]

What about the third placer? How much does he get? How much does Fritz get?

They all get $1.5m for coming, and the winner receives $4.5m for winning. So the winner takes $6m home.

 

[The Aceserver]

I’m so happy to see Jannik with a respectable first serve percentage. This is what the result should look like when he’s serving well.

 

[Drighiz]

Not as much fun as last year's match. One way traffic and it felt a little irrelevant really. ATP finals will be better.

 

[jm1972]

Well nobody could have predicted how this "match" would end... **yawn**

 

[clayqueen]

That's the one. And you know fine well I'm talking about indoor HC.

They played five times at the WTF, and Djoker leads 3:2. They may have been 3:3 if they played a 6th time.

 

[Pheasant]

Sinner did a good job getting to the net quickly so that Alcaraz couldn’t burn him on the running pass shots. Sinner’s net game is looking better than it’s ever looked.

 

[clayqueen]

That's the one. And you know fine well I'm talking about indoor HC.

Why are you being selective about indoor courts?

 

[Hitman]

Sinner simply dominated here, both Djokovic and Alcaraz lost by the same score.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Why are you being selective about indoor courts?

Because HC is the surface where the majority of indoor matches are played.

 

[clayqueen]

 

[marc45]

so six matches (five completed) and not one good one...hell of a tourney

Sinner wins 6 mil for four easy sets of tennis in two days with a day off in between...glad I don't have Netflix
