The 6 Kings Slam is a tennis exhibition tournament held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Riyadh Season. The tournament is held over four days, with the third day being a rest day in order to follow an ATP rule that players cannot compete on three consecutive days in an exhibition.
Since this is not an ATP-sanctioned event, players do not earn any ranking points and the match results do not count towards official head-to-head tallies. Each of the six participants is guaranteed a participation fee with the winner receiving a larger payout. [1]
The event is held in an 8,000 seat stadium purpose-built for the tournament originally named the Venue, later named anb arena. [2] [3]
Jannik Sinner won the inaugural tournament by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final and claimed the biggest prize check in tennis history, surpassing Novak Djokovic's prize of $4,740,300 at the 2022 ATP Finals. Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal for the third-place trophy.
