Prize money earned by each player at Six Kings Slam 2025

Jannik Sinner ($6 million)

Jannik Sinner once again triumphed at the three-day event, winning the second edition of the Six Kings Slam. The winner’s cheque surpasses what he received at any other tournament this year.

After cruising past World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the finals of the Six Kings Slam, the World No. 2 pocketed a handsome cash prize of $6 million, which also included the mandatory $1.5 million participation fee.

The Italian’s campaign also saw him prevail over the 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in semi-finals, and last-minute replacement Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round.

Carlos Alcaraz ($1.5 million)

Carlos Alcaraz finished as a runner-up in Riyadh for the second straight instance, and claimed $1.5 million for his appearance at the Six Kings Slam 2025.

The Spaniard was handed over a bye in the opening round, and beat Taylor Fritz comfortably in the semi-final. However, the night of the finals belonged to Sinner, who was at his dominating best, with even the top ranked ATP player simply searching for answers against the Italian’s brutal hitting.

Taylor Fritz ($1.5 million)

Marking his debut in the Riyadh event, Taylor Fritz finished as the second runner-up, taking home ($1.5 million. The American No. 1 Fritz started strong with a convincing 6-3, 6-4 victory over Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals.

The victory set him up against Carlos Alcaraz in the semis, where Fritz ultimately fell 6-4, 6-2, ending his title hopes but securing a valuable third-place position.

In a dead-rubber against Djokovic for the third position, Fritz saved set points to win the opening set tiebreaker, with the Serbian eventually withdrawing from the contest. This was Fritz’s first ever win against Djokovic, after 11 consecutive unsuccessful attempts previously.

Novak Djokovic ($1.5 million)

Novak Djokovic once again recieved a bye to enter the semi-finals, but faced yet another one-sided loss 6-4, 6-2 to Jannik Sinner, missing out on a chance to reach the final. In the third-place play-off against Fritz, the Serbian suffered a grueling first set, lost the tiebreak 7-4 and then retired due to injury, ending his campaign prematurely.

Despite the result, he collected his guaranteed appearance fee and acknowledged ongoing physical challenges as he aims to finish the season.

Alexander Zverev ($1.5 million)

Alexander Zverev was eliminated in his opening match, falling 6-3, 6-4 to Taylor Fritz in just 59 minutes at Riyadh’s ANB Arena. His serve lacked bite and he struggled to impose himself, continuing a troubling recent run against Fritz.

Despite the quick exit, Zverev walked away with his guaranteed US$1.5 million appearance fee — a hefty sum for under an hour of tennis. Despite being ranked #3 in the world, the German has consistently faltered against top-10 players.

Stefanos Tsitsipas ($1.5 million)

Stefanos Tsitsipas faced a daunting opening challenge against Jannik Sinner in the first round, stepping in as a late replacement for Jack Draper.

His brief 90-minute outing on Riyadh’s fast courts earned him a hefty $1.5 million appearance fee, but from a tennis standpoint, his struggles with form and recurring injuries persisted. The Greek star now faces an uphill battle to regain his rhythm and reestablish himself among the sport’s elite.
