Prize Money Six Kings Slam featuring Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz and Sinner with eye-watering record fee for winner
ATPSaturday, 19 October 2024 at 23:13
For winning the so called Six Kings Slam which will take place in Saudi Arabia between 16-19 October, there will be an eye-watering $6,000,000 on offer for the winner for a few days play.
The Six Kings Slam was announced earlier this year and features five Grand Slam champions involved in the line-up. Infamously Holger Rune was the hot topic of conversation when announced as the Dane is included despite not being a Grand Slam champion of any kind.
But it will feature Rafael Nadal as well as Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev so all of the leading Grand Slam champions of recent years who are still active in the sport.

With Saudi Arabia aiming to get a further foothold in the sport taking the Next Gen Finals, WTA Finals and supposedly hunting for a ATP 1000 license to buy, it is very much the next part of their perceived takeover of the sport.
Albeit one that has gone a bit quiet in recent months. But ahead of the Six Kings Slam, it will no doubt ramp up. For even playing in the tournament, those involved will receive more than most ATP 1000 tournaments in $1.5m for merely playing.
But the big prize of the weekend is $6m for the winner which is nearly double the amount given to the winner of the US Open. That prize money sits at just over $3m so no doubt a huge incentive for players to head over and also dodge Asian swing events albeit Djokovic will make his return to Shanghai later this autumn for the first time in a number of years.
Whilst the eye watering prize money was previously mooted, it has now been confirmed by prominent journalist, German R. Abril so all eyes will head towards Saudi Arabia.
