The Six Kings Slam 2024 was held in Riyadh with six of the best players in men’s tennis battling out for the luxurious prize money. It was the inaugural edition of the three-day exhibition in which world number one Jannik Sinner emerged as the champion.
Let us have a look at the prize money that each of the players won at Six Kings Slam 2024.
Jannik Sinner ($6 million)
Jannik Sinner was crowned the winner of the first edition of the Six Kings Slam 2024 and took home a whopping ($6 million). This is in contrast to the $3.6 million he received after winning the US Open this year. Keeping into account the $2.1 million he bagged after winning the Australian Open this year, the sum earned from Sinner’s Grand Slam wins comes to $5.7 million. The prize he earned in Riyadh is just marginally lower than $12,032,935 that the Italian earned in 2024.
Carlos Alcaraz ($1.5 million)
Carlos Alcaraz walked home with $1.5 million for his appearance at the three-day Six Kings Slam 2024. This is higher than the world number two earned after winning the Indian Wells Masters ($1.1 million) that went on for two weeks. The champion’s reward for the Six Kings Slam alone was the sum of the prize money Alcaraz earned for winning the French Open ($2.6 million) and Wimbledon ($3.5 million) this year. The winner’s prize in Riyadh represents 66% of the Spaniard’s season winnings of $9,036,407.
Novak Djokovic ($1.5 million)
Novak Djokovic received $1.5 million at the exhibition event in Riyadh for his participation. The Serb won a Golden Slam by winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. He earned a total of prize money of $4,421,915 this year. The 37-year-old failed to win a grand slam title this year and he was struggling with injuries in the first half of the season.
Rafael Nadal ($1.5 million)
Rafael Nadal who recently announced his retirement earned $1.5 million for his appearance at Six Kings Slam 2024. It is five times of the $301,661 he won in prize money in the ongoing season. Nadal had been largely missing from action this season. It was only a matter of time before he called it quits from his professional tennis career.

Daniil Medvedev ($1.5 million)
Daniil Medvedev, lost to Sinner in the quarter-finals, received $1.5 million from the event. The Russian earned a total of $4.8 million this tennis season. The world number five is fourth in the race to The ATP 2024 Finals in Turin and has withdrawn from the Vienna Open.
