That win set up a Thursday meeting with Novak Djokovic, with Sinner winning in three sets to move on to the final. Meanwhile four-time grand slam winner Carlos Alcaraz defeated countryman Rafael Nadal in straight sets on Thursday, following a two-sets to love (6-4, 6-2) victory over Holger Rune. Alcaraz and Sinner will now play for the title — and the hefty financial prize that comes with it.

What is the prize money for the Six Kings Slam?
Clive Brunskill/Getty Images All six players will bank a minimum of $1.5 million USD for their participation in the tournament. The winner will take home $6m USD if they claim the ultimate victory. It will be the biggest single financial prize in the history of the sport, outranking even the $3.8m USD currently awarded to Grand Slam winners.
Is the Six Kings Slam a fifth Grand Slam event?
The Six Kings Slam is
not a Grand Slam event. It is an exclusive exhibition tournament featuring the sport's best players from the ATP Tour, but is not an official event either. That means that players will score no ranking points for their performance and that it does not count alongside the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.
