The
Six Kings Slam is upon us taking place between October 16-19 and is the second big exhibition tournament in the month after the Laver Cup. Our
Tournament Centre gives you the inside track on the latest results, schedules and all the info you may need.
Headlined by
Rafael Nadal and
Novak Djokovic, all but
Holger Rune have Grand Slam pedigree. As well as the two aforementioned names, it will feature the two current kings of Grand Slams in
Carlos Alcaraz and
Jannik Sinner. They have shared the showpiece events this season.
As well as
Daniil Medvedev who some thought was going to be an injury doubt ahead of the tournament. But he has arrived in Riyadh despite recently struggling with a shoulder injury.
Prize Money
Players will not earn ranking points. It takes place over four days with play on three to circumnavigate the ATP rules on playing non sanctioned events.
Each of the six players is guaranteed at minimum $1,500,000 USD with the winner taking home the largest prize in tennis history, $6,000,000 USD. This is almost double the prize money for a Grand Slam champion.
