The Saudi “6 Kings Slam” exhibition, featuring Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal alongside Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune, is confirmed for October 16th to 19th. To comply with ATP regulations that prohibit players from competing in three consecutive days of exhibition matches, October 18th will serve as a rest day.
For Rafa, the “Six Kings Slam” offers a thrilling return to the court among the sport’s elite, giving fans another chance to witness his brilliance. The stakes are exceptionally high, with the winner set to take home $6 million—more than double the Wimbledon champion’s prize. Each participant is guaranteed at least $1.5 million, underscoring the event’s allure and prestige.
While exhibition events in the Gulf are not new, they are usually held during breaks in the ATP season or after its conclusion. This Saudi event, however, runs amidst a fully packed ATP calendar in October, including the mandatory Masters 1000 tournaments in Shanghai and Paris.
I can’t wait to see this broadcast LIVE on TV. Lots of great players and grand slam winners represented. I’d love to see Rafa win!
Djokovic looks absolutely disgusting, horrendous, evil, and vile in the ad. Yuck – stay away from that monster!
I agree. That is an accurate depiction of that evil bad person Novak Djokovic. AI got that right.
I’m looking forward to seeing Rafa play high quality tennis again. It does not matter what the venue is. I sure hope Rafa plays and wins RolandGarros in 2025.💪💯👏👍🏆🎉🥳🍎❤️🏅
Me too. I don’t think it’s fair to pass judgment on those who decide to play in this event. Rafa can choose to play or not play whatever he wants. If Rafa does play, I would like to see him win! 🙂
It will be fun to see Rafa play tennis again. What type of courts will this be played on? Hard court or clay court? Looking forward to seeing good tennis and learning more about the culture there.
Don’t understand why
Wonder if The Joker approved that portrait?😂
Heeheeheehee! What an unbelievably disgusting and ugly depiction of Djokovic. Can;t stop laughing!
I guess it is accurately funny picture of Djokovic – the hood over him and that nasty grimace make it worse!
Shameless
What’s wrong with Rafa and his team?
First a collaboration with Will Smith and now his last match might be in Saudi Arabia.
I’m so disappointed.
Will Smith! After what he did? Why Rafa?
Because Rafa doesn’t play God like most ppl today! He is a better person than MOST! The man made a mistake , he didnt murder anyone. Forgive for goodness sakes. YOU WHO ARE WITHOUT SIN , THROW THE FIRST STONE!
Money, Emily…money.
Its not going to be his last match!
Please tell me that Rafa’s last match isn’t going to be an exhibition in Saudi Arabia.
Please tell me YOU know Rafa better than that!
