During a practice session in Vienna, where he will compete in the next tournament, Jannik Sinner (24, 2 ATP), a recent winner of the Six Kings Slam, practices his drop shot, trying to send the ball into a basket placed beyond the net. After a few attempts, his shot went off, triggering stunned reactions from those on the sidelines.

It was another demonstration of technique and precision by the champion, who is credited with an incredible trick: he lit a matchstick straight from the service!
Sinner returned from Saudi Arabia richer after winning the Six Kings Slam. He dominated in the final his great rival, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (22 years old, 1 ATP).
He took the Arabs’ money
The South Tyrol-born player went home with a gold racket weighing four kilograms and worth €400,000.
The trophy awarded to the Italian for winning the demonstration tournament is made entirely of 24 karat gold.
It is a specially commissioned work by Riyadh Season (the organization that organizes and manages the sporting and other events that bring life to the capital of Saudi Arabia, attracting tourists from all over the world).
The rocket is made by 10 people, who worked on it for 164 hours, being a completely handmade piece.
