Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are all signed up to play in the latest edition of the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia.
The six-player exhibition event will take place across three days in Riyadh, with the tournament offering all competitors a $1.5m participation fee plus an additional $4.5m for the overall winner.
Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev will also play in the 2025 event, with Stefanos Tsitsipas replacing the injured Jack Draper. Every match will be streamed live on Netflix, starting on Wednesday.
Sinner defeated Alcaraz in last year’s final to win the inaugural Six Kings Slam, which also featured a final showdown between Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
As it is an exhibition, the Six Kings Slam does not offer rankings points. It is the highest profile men’s tennis event to take place in Saudi Arabia, which has often been accused of using sport and entertainment to whitewash its human rights record.
Riyadh also hosts the end-of-season WTA Finals, due to take place from 1 November, which features the eight best women’s players in the world competing for the year-end prize.
