Turin, 14 October (LaPresse) – ‘I took two days off and then we got back to work: I feel good physically and mentally, we are ready here and for the upcoming tournaments – Vienna, Paris, Turin – and we hope to finish the year well.’ So said Jannik Sinner on the eve of his debut in the Six Kings Slam, a tournament in which he is the defending champion and which will see him face Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas tomorrow. It will be a difficult match, he serves very well and moves very well, I will try to play my best tennis and see what happens,‘ said the world number two. ’It's the second year in a row that I can play tennis here, let's see what the atmosphere is like, but I'm happy. Every year is different and every year has its own stories, I'm happy, there are some very difficult opponents and let's see what I can do this year." His Six Kings Slam debut is scheduled for Wednesday, no earlier than 8 p.m. (Italian time) against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first of two quarter-finals. The Greek leads 6-3 in previous matches, but they have not met since the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters 1000 semi-final, which Tsitsipas won 6-4 in the third set. The winner will earn a place in the semi-final against Novak Djokovic. In the other quarter-final, at 6.30 p.m., Taylor Fritz of the United States will face Alexander Zverev of Germany: the winner will play Carlos Alcaraz. On Sunday, from 6.30 p.m. Italian time, the finals will be played: first the third-place play-off, then the title match.
