Jannik Sinner lands eye-watering £4.6m payday with Six Kings win over Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the Six Kings Slam final to claim the lucrative £4.6million prize. In a thrilling final between the world's two best players, it was the Italian who finally got his first win over his arch-rival in four attempts this year. Six of men's tennis' biggest names arrived in Saudi Arabia to participate in the sport's most lucrative tournament. Although only an exhibition tournament in which no ranking points can be won, there were huge sums of money on offer for the likes of Sinner, Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Just by turning up, players landed a £1.15m cheque. To place the money into context, Alcaraz earned £2.7m for beating Djokovic in this year's Wimbledon final, the showpiece event in one of the best-known Grand Slams on the calendar.
