The inaugural Riyadh Season Six Kings Slam ended with the world's No. 1 on top.
Jannik Sinner rallied for a three-set comeback to defeat Carlos Alcaraz, 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-3, in the final match of the tournament Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and live on DAZN, to take home a $6 million purse.
It concluded a Six Kings Slam tournament that featured some of the best men's tennis players in the world.
On day one, Wednesday, world number one Sinner was in menacing form, dismantling 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev two-sets to love, 6-0, 6-3.
That win set up a Thursday meeting with Novak Djokovic, with Sinner winning in three sets to move on to the final.
Meanwhile four-time grand slam winner Carlos Alcaraz defeated countryman Rafael Nadal in straight sets on Thursday, following a two-sets to love (6-4, 6-2) victory over Holger Rune.
Sinner then outlasted Alcaraz for the title serving as the cap to the tournament.
Djokovic defeated Nadal in the third place play-off beforehand as well, in what was the last competitive game between the two.
Below you can find the final results.

All six players banked a minimum of $1.5 million USD for their participation in the tournament. The final winner, Sinner, took home $6m USD.
It marked the biggest single financial prize in the history of the sport, outranking even the $3.8m USD currently awarded to Grand Slam winners.
Is the Six Kings Slam a fifth Grand Slam event?
The Six Kings Slam is not a Grand Slam event. It is an exclusive exhibition tournament featuring the sport's best players from the ATP Tour, but is not an official event either.
That means that players will score no ranking points for their performance and that it does not count alongside the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.
