Carlos Alcaraz secured victory at the Six Kings Slam 6-4, 6-2 and set up a final clash with Rafael Nadal. The 4-time Grand Slam champion displayed a high level of play, winning 100% of points on his first serve and conceding just three points on his serve throughout the set.

Rune started on serve and saved the first break point against him with a great first serve. It was the most tense moment in the early stages of the match, as both players held their serve comfortably until 4-4. At that point, Rune began to struggle with his serve again, and Alcaraz capitalized to break and then serve out the set, winning it 6-4.

At the start of the second set, Alcaraz carried the momentum from the previous minutes, taking advantage of Rune's second serves and breaking early. The world No. 2 was superior to the Dane throughout the second set, constantly putting him under pressure.

In the 5th game, the Spaniard secured another break and continued to show no deficiencies on serve. Despite only landing 43% of first serves, Alcaraz maintained a 100% win rate on his first serve, just like in the first set. Although Rune managed to save one final service game, Alcaraz eventually closed out the match 6-4, 6-2.
