Carlos Alcaraz continues on his adventure in Saudi Arabia with another victory. The world number two triumphed over Rafa Nadal with a final score of 6-3 and 6-3 in 1 hour and 20 minutes of play. Carlitos has consistently shown himself a step ahead in terms of accuracy, but Rafa has also had hopeful moments where he has been able to showcase and enjoy his tennis. Alcaraz will now face Jannik Sinner in the grand final of the Six Kings Slam 2024. Rafa, on his end, will battle Novak Djokovic for the third-place spot. 

With maximum worldwide anticipation, despite being an exhibition, the excitement was palpable both on the court and globally. All fans were focusing their attention on the clash between the Spaniards. And the family of Rafa wouldn't miss this occasion, well aware that this will be one of the last matches of the Balearic player's career. Dominating from the outset, Carlitos started by winning the first eight points, with Rafa reacting later on.

The power of his forehand once again shone on the court, showing no fear in any moment despite the long exchanges against an increasingly aggressive opponent. Although facing strong shots, Alcaraz broke through that barrier to claim the first set of the match. However much Carlitos led on the scoreboard, Rafa sent a message to the entire world about his tennis, displaying his solidity and quality.

Nadal shines, but Alcaraz is too strong

With the pace in his racket, the player from Murcia accelerated the match's speed, and despite Rafa's attempts to respond, nothing was enough to stop an unstoppable Alcaraz. Neither powerful winners nor deep returns could harm Carlitos, who secured another triumph, ending with laughter and a symbolic hug between them at the net. The world number two will meet Sinner in the final, while Rafa will have a special clash for that third-place spot against Novak Djokovic.
