Six Kings of Tennis Return to Saudi Arabia: Who Will Be the Champion in 2025.

According to The Sun: On October 19, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the third day of the new tennis tournament Six Kings Slam concluded at the Kingdom Arena, which is planned to be held again in 2025.

The Six Kings Slam is an exhibition tournament that lasts three days and brings together six big names in the world of tennis.

Last year, the final was very tense, with Jannik Sinner winning and becoming the first champion of the Six Kings Slam.

This tournament is not part of the official ATP calendar, so players do not earn points and their rankings remain unchanged.

All participants last year received £1.12 million each, while the winner Jannik Sinner took home a prize of £4.6 million, exceeding the usual reward for winning a Grand Slam tournament.

Carlos Alcaraz hopes to repeat his success over Sinner obtained during the US Open and not let the Italian win the trophy for the second time.

The tournament is part of a broader initiative by Saudi Arabia to attract global sports to the country.

Boxing events like RingIV and WWE Royal Rumble also take place here.

The latest edition of the Six Kings Slam allowed tennis fans to witness a farewell match between the legends of the sport — Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in a play-off for third place.

The fourteen-time French Open champion received a gold tennis racket from Turki Al-Sheikh, symbolizing his outstanding career.

This racket weighs 3 kg and costs $270,000 — definitely not what he would want to leave in the locker room.

When Will the Six Kings Slam 2025 Take Place?

• The exhibition will take place on October 15, 16, and 18, 2025.
• October 17 will be a rest day to comply with ATP rules prohibiting players from competing three consecutive days at exhibition events.

The twenty-four-time Grand Slam champion hopes to achieve better results than last year.

How Can I Watch the Six Kings Slam 2025?

This tournament will be broadcast for the first time on Netflix.

For Netflix subscribers, this will not require any additional costs.

Last year, the tournament was only available on DAZN, so this year it will reach a wider audience.

Watching the development of the Six Kings Slam, it is worth noting that it attracts attention from both players and spectators due to its unique format and high prize money. It is not just an opportunity for athletes to showcase their talent, but also an important stage in promoting tennis and other sports in Saudi Arabia. In an environment of growing interest in sporting events in the region, such initiatives will play a crucial role in integrating the country into the global sports landscape.
