Alcaraz-Sinner, 3-4 (Alcaraz break)
The first serve works well for Sinner, but Alcaraz adjusts his returns and manages to get the break back. The two tennis players continued to throw real bombs from the back of the court and Carlos’ last retreat did not find a response from the Italian. Suddenly the script changes as the No. 1 had the first heat on the track. That’s what it feels like to have another tennis prodigy in front of you.
Alcaraz-Sinners, 2-4
Jannik taught Carlos that he is ready to fight for every ball no matter how difficult it is. Alcaraz is a very serious game, who closed out the sixth game with a good forehand attack and a subtle short backhand volley that Sinner was about to counter. However, his ball was a bit long and the Spaniard could breathe a sigh of relief.
Alcaraz-Sinners, 1-4
The world number 1 entered the match like a shot and was successful with his punches, all very violent, with intention, and confirming the previous break. This speed of the Italian forces Alcaraz to take a step forward in his approach if he wants things to go well. The sinner plays loose on this hard indoor court in Riyadh.
Alcaraz-Sinner, 1-3 (Sinner break)
The sinner took the first three break points to go 0-40, most notably with a spectacular parallel forehand winner after Carlos forced it. The Spaniard saved the first, but Sinner connected on a winning comeback in the second and would deliver the first important blow of the match.
Alcaraz-Sinners, 1-2

Alcaraz-Sinners, 1-1
It was an exhibition tournament, but both tennis players entered the court with an official match mentality. They knew that any detail would matter in their rivalry and the two pulled out all the stops to try to strike the first blow on the table. Strong rally, with two very difficult shots. Alcaraz also maintains his service with authority.
