The 2025 6 Kings Slam event is nearly here in what will be the second edition of the indoor tennis exhibition event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Six of the best players in the men's game are invited to compete in a four-day event at the ANB Arena in the Saudi-Arabian capital.
The inaugural event in 2024 featured Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune.
Sinner beat Alcaraz in last year's final to take home the title and the lucrative champion's prize money of $6m.

The Italian will return for a consecutive year, as will fellow Grand Slam winners Djokovic and Alcaraz. The trio will be joined by Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas for the upcoming edition.
Tsitsipas was a late entry to this year's exhibition due to Jack Draper pulling out of the event through a season-ending arm injury.
