Just hours after lifting the 2025 Six Kings Slam trophy , Jannik Sinner found himself at the centre of an announcement that could change the history of world tennis forever.
Turki Alalshikh, president and creator of the tournament, surprised everyone with a sensational statement during the closing press conference, transforming a simple victory into a historic moment for the sport.
In front of a crowd of ecstatic journalists and fans, Alalshikh took the stage with a mysterious golden box, the enigmatic smile of someone who knows he has a global surprise in store.
“Jannik Sinner didn’t just win the tournament,” he began, “he won our hearts. Therefore, I officially announce that the Six Kings Slam becomes Sinner’s Seven Kings Slam !”
His words sparked a general murmur, then thunderous applause. The atmosphere was electric, almost unreal, as if tennis were witnessing the birth of a new era.
Alalshikh explained that a seventh player will be invited each year, but Sinner will have a permanent seat as the “Eternal King,” with free entry and a permanent throne of honor in the tournament.
Incredibly, the Saudi tycoon added that he would give Sinner a 10% stake in the tournament, making him a co-owner and symbol of the future of tennis in the Middle East.
The young Italian champion, visibly surprised, stammered a few words: “I don’t know what to say… It’s the craziest dream of my life.” The crowd greeted him with endless cheers and applause.
But the most astonishing scene was yet to come: Alalshikh opened the box, revealing a genuine diamond-studded gold crown, crafted by world-renowned Saudi artisans.
Without hesitation, he placed it on Sinner’s head, proclaiming him “King of Kings.” The audience erupted in a roar of enthusiasm, while flashes and cameras lit up the room like a firmament.
“You’re not only world number one,” Alalshikh shouted, “you’re history’s number one!” Sinner, both amazed and moved, hugged the president in a gesture of sincere gratitude.
According to internal sources, the initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious strategy to transform tennis into a global spectacle, uniting sport, culture, and entertainment.
Analysts are already talking about a “new paradigm” in professional tennis, where stars are not just athletes, but participating icons of a global media product.
The Sinner’s Seven Kings Slam will therefore become not just a tournament, but a symbol of sporting power and innovation, uniting the six greats of world tennis in a new dynasty.
In the corridors of the press center, commentators whispered: “It’s as if Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have passed the baton to a new emperor of tennis.”
With this move, Sinner not only enters the legend, but redefines the image of the modern champion: winning, charismatic, and capable of interacting with the new geopolitics of sport.
The tennis world, still in shock, now looks to the future with curiosity and wonder. The only question is: how far will Jannik Sinner’s reign last?
As night falls over Riyadh, the young Italian, his crown still shining, greets his fans with a shy smile. The legend of the “King of Kings” has just begun.
