Six kings slam: Tennis royalty set to clash in Riyadh
From October 15–18, 2025, Riyadh will host something tennis has rarely seen: six of the game’s biggest names battling in a single exhibition, the Six Kings Slam. Forget tour schedules and rankings this is pure star power on one stage.
The Lineup
- Jannik Sinner : World No. 1 and one of the sport’s most consistent young champions.
- Carlos Alcaraz : already a five-time Slam winner at just 22, with a fearless game.
- Novak Djokovic : the 24-time Grand Slam legend, still hungry to prove he belongs among the best even at 38.
- Alexander Zverev : Olympic champion and Slam finalist, eager to measure himself against the elite.
- Jack Draper : the young Brit cracking into the Top 5, representing the next wave.
- Taylor Fritz : US Open finalist and the American hope.
Why This Matters
Exhibitions in tennis are nothing new, but this collection of stars is rare. Usually fans see one off charity matches or smaller showcases. Here, you get six top tier players, spanning generations, in a four day battle. It’s a chance to see how the best of today Sinner and Alcaraz stack up not only against each other, but also against legends like Djokovic.
Has This Happened Before?
Not quite like this. Tennis has had invitationals and year end exhibitions, but an event with this kind of lineup outside of the ATP Finals is unusual. It feels more like boxing’s “superfight” model, with marquee names clashing simply because fans want to see it.
