Six Kings Slam Returns to Riyadh With Djokovic Alcaraz & Jack Sinner
The invitational tennis tournament brings together six of the world’s top male players, including Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and defending champion Jannik Sinner.
The Six Kings Slam is returning to Riyadh from October 15th to 18th during this year’s Riyadh Season, with six top-ranked men’s tennis players confirmed to compete. The announcement was made by General Entertainment Authority Chairman Turki Alalshikh during the official season launch.
Returning from the inaugural edition are Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. In the previous tournament, Sinner secured the title with a comeback victory over Alcaraz, who currently holds five Grand Slam titles and won Roland Garros earlier this year.
Novak Djokovic, who holds a record 24 Grand Slam singles titles, will also return. He finished third in the last edition after defeating Rafael Nadal in what became their final match before Nadal’s retirement.
Three players will make their Six Kings Slam debut: Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper, and Taylor Fritz. Zverev, an Olympic gold medallist at Tokyo 2020, has reached three Grand Slam finals. Draper and Fritz currently hold the world’s fourth and fifth rankings, respectively, with Fritz reaching the US Open final in 2024.
