Six Kings Slam 2024: All you need to know about prize money and points on offer

A mix of the old guard and next-gen stars slug it out at the inaugural Six Kings Slam.  

The Six Kings Slam is an exhibition event preceding the Next Gen ATP Finals and the inaugural Riyadh edition of the WTA Finals. The desert kingdom has gone all out to bring tennis events and top players from the tennis world to its shores. The event presents an opportunity to see the Spaniard and a mainstay of the sport, Rafael Nadal before he retires at the end of the ongoing season. 

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have signed up for the event along with young guns Holger Rune. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Daniil Medvedev has also travelled to Saudi Arabia for the exhibition match. 

Carlos Alcaraz will take on compatriot Rafael Nadal later today for one last time, with the latter looking to leave the ATP tour behind after the Davis Cup Finals in November. Spain will face Netherlands in the knockout stage, where Nadal will hope to lead his team to a seventh Davis Cup title. Spain has won the Davis Cup six times, with Nadal playing a part in four of those wins. 

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic will take on Jannik Sinner in his semi-final. The Serbian will look for a reversal of fortunes when he takes on Sinner, having lost twice in as many meetings to the Italian in 2024.

The same result repeated itself against Alcaraz – this time in the finals at Wimbledon, a venue where he has seven titles.
