Star tennis player earned £1.1 million for loss: details of the scandalous tournament.
Alexander Zverev's performance at the Six Kings Slam
According to The Sun: Alexander Zverev earned £1.1 million at the Six Kings Slam tournament, although his match lasted only 59 minutes. In a match against Taylor Fritz, the world number 3, he lost with a score of 6-3, 6-4 during an unsuccessful opening night at this prestigious event in Saudi Arabia.
According to information, all participants were promised a fee of £1.1 million just for participating in the tournament in Riyadh, while the winner will receive an even larger reward.
“The tournament promises a large prize fund, but that night I couldn't show my best game,” comments Zverev.
Alexander hopes for better performances in the future, as this tournament is just the beginning of his journey.
Although the match result did not meet expectations, for Zverev, the experience of participating in such events is important. The situation at tournaments with large prizes is particularly competitive, and Alexander is already planning preparation for upcoming competitions, where he intends to show his best results.
