Sometimes, the world of pro tennis gets a little too serious. It’s all high stakes, big paychecks, and fierce rivalries that keep everyone on edge. But just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes Jannik Sinner with a curveball so random, so completely out of left field, that you can’t help but laugh. This time, it’s not about a match point or a record-breaking serve, it’s about a hypothetical biopic and, of all people, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air himself, Will Smith.

Jannik Sinner’s return to the $13.5 million Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the defending champion was already electric. Beating Novak Djokovic, his “idol” to extend his five-match streak over the 24-time Grand Slam winner, the Italian once again showed why he’s sitting comfortably at world No. 2. But off the court? He’s a total goofball, and that’s exactly why fans can’t get enough of him.

Just a few hours ago, @Janniksin_Updates lit up X by sharing Will Smith’s hilarious response to the Italian’s pick for which Hollywood star he’d want to play him in a biopic. “Let’s do Will Smith, why not?” said Sinner. Smith, clearly amused by the idea, jumped on his Instagram story to join the fun. First, he reshared a post from Bleacher Report featuring Sinner’s quote, and then, of course, he took it one step further.

In a move of pure comedic brilliance, the 57-year-old actor photoshopped his own face onto Sinner’s body from the Wimbledon 2025 trophy ceremony, showing himself proudly hoisting the championship trophy. To top it off, he added a two-word, all-caps message that said it all, tagging Sinner directly: “I’M IN!!!!!!” It was the kind of crossover moment nobody saw coming, yet somehow, everyone instantly loved.

And for what it’s worth, Will Smith isn’t entirely new to the tennis world, as he played “Richard Williams”, the father of Venus and Serena, in the hit biopic King Richard, a role that earned him an Oscar back in 2022. Now fans can’t help but imagine Smith trying to pull off Sinner’s smooth Italian accent. And if he actually nailed that? Now that would be a performance for the ages.

But while Jannik Sinner just saw his wish come true, it looks like he’ll need to stay sharp, because his rival, still stung by defeat, seems more determined than ever to get his revenge next time.

Novak Djokovic sends warning to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz

The 2025 Netflix Six Kings Slam brought yet another tough night for Novak Djokovic, who continues to struggle against Jannik Sinner. For the third time this season, the Italian had his number. On Thursday, Sinner needed just 62 minutes to hand the 24-time Grand Slam champion a 6-4, 6-2 defeat in Riyadh. Immediately, after the match, Novak Djokovic didn’t hold back, joking that he wished someone would “trade a younger body with me, just for a year so I can try to win against these guys. Excuse my language, but it’s never nice when someone kicks your a– like this on the court.”

Still, if anyone thought Djokovic was ready to hang up his racket, they’d be wrong. “I still have the drive,” he said firmly. While he admitted that “it’s becoming much more difficult for me to get a win against Jannik and Carlos,” he made it clear that he isn’t done yet. “I’m gonna keep on challenging them until it happens,” Djokovic promised, adding with a grin, “It’s not happening, sorry,” when asked about retirement during the press conference in Riyadh.

One thing’s certain, Djokovic isn’t going anywhere. The Serbian star remains determined to chase his 25th Grand Slam and keep battling both Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. So far in 2025, Sinner has beaten him three times: in Paris, London, and now Riyadh, completely flipping the script in their rivalry.

As for Alcaraz, Djokovic managed to edge past him back in January during the Australian Open quarterfinals, but the young Spaniard got his payback at the US Open. In New York, Alcaraz overpowered Djokovic in straight sets to reach the final, proving that the new generation is ready to take over. Still, despite back-to-back setbacks, Djokovic isn’t thinking about walking away anytime soon. The legend’s message is loud and clear, he’s not done fighting yet. That said, do you think Novak Djokovic still has what it takes to turn the tables on Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz next season?
