Riyadh is once again set to capture the global tennis spotlight as it prepares to host the second edition of the prestigious “Six Kings Slam” tournament from October 15 to 18, as part of the Riyadh Season festivities.
Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, confirmed the participation of six of the world’s top-ranked tennis players in this high-profile event.
Headlining the tournament are defending champion Jannik Sinner, current world number one and Australian Open winner, and Roland Garros 2025 champion Carlos Alcaraz, both of whom thrilled fans in last year’s historic final.
Also returning is tennis icon Novak Djokovic, the holder of a record 24 Grand Slam titles, who claimed third place in 2024 after a memorable match against his longtime rival Rafael Nadal.
Making their debut at the event are Alexander Zverev, the 2020 Olympic gold medalist, along with Jack Draper from the UK and American star Taylor Fritz, who are currently ranked fourth and fifth in the world, respectively.
The return of the Six Kings Slam further cements Riyadh’s status as a premier global sports destination, as Saudi Arabia continues to attract world-class talent and tournaments during the annually celebrated Riyadh Season.
