Six Kings Slam Semifinal Predictions Including Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner

Day 2 of the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh brings two heavyweight clashes as the world’s best continue to battle for pride and prestige. Though it’s an exhibition, the competitive edge among these six elite players remains unmistakable. After an entertaining opening day, the spotlight shifts to Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, both facing opponents who know how to test them in these conditions. We at LWOT have prediction for both matches. But who will rise to the occasion under the Riyadh lights and book their place in the final?

Six Kings Slam Day 2 Predictions

Carlos Alcaraz vs Taylor Fritz

Head-to-Head: Alcaraz 4–1 Fritz

Carlos Alcaraz capped his season in style with a second US Open crown, reaffirming his status as one of the sport’s true generational forces. The Spaniard also triumphed in Tokyo, defeating Taylor Fritz in the final — a match that highlighted his superior movement and creativity in the big moments. Fritz remains one of the ATP Tour’s most consistent hard-court performers, with his serve-forehand combination always a weapon indoors. However, the American has found few answers to Alcaraz’s mix of power and unpredictability in their past encounters. Unless he can dominate with first-strike tennis from start to finish, the Spaniard’s all-court game should once again prove too complete.

Prediction: Alcaraz in 2

Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner

Head-to-Head: Sinner 6–4 Djokovic

The rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner has quietly become one of the most compelling in men’s tennis. Sinner has claimed four of their last five meetings, shifting the balance after years of Djokovic dominance. The Italian’s steady aggression and shot tolerance have given him an edge on faster courts — conditions that could favor him again here. Djokovic, meanwhile, enters Riyadh with some question marks. He barely completed his semifinal match against eventual Shanghai champion Valentin Vacherot just under a week ago, after picking up an injury midway through. It remains unclear how much that will affect his movement and competitiveness against a red-hot Sinner. Given their recent history and the uncertainty surrounding Djokovic’s fitness, the Italian may hold a slight edge this time.
