The Riyadh Season Tennis Cup of 2023 took everyone by a storm as Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz secured a remarkable win against Novak Djokovic. The exciting match took place in Kingdom Arena, resulting in Alcaraz’s victory with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 4-6. This win lead him to claim the top spot in men’s singles.

The event, attended by HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal bin Abdulaziz, Minister of Sports, and HE Turki Al Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), witnessed an intense and exhilarating showdown between two tennis players. The audience experienced an evening filled with an adrenaline filled gameplay and increased anticipation, setting the stage for the tennis season.

Carlos Alcaraz, a 20-year-old tennis prodigy, emerged victorious against Djokovic, the seasoned champion. In his post-match remarks, Alcaraz expressed his joy in playing against Djokovic, emphasizing his delight in the learning experience and expressing hope for future encounters.
