The Six Kings Slam returns for its second edition in Riyadh this year. The most-anticipated competition will take place from 15 to 18 October, 2025, shortly before ATP Finals.
The event will take place on the hard courts of the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,.
The complete line up for the tournament has been confirmed. While Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic return to the field, the Six Kings Slam 2025 will see three new entrants.
Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper have booked their spot for the most lucrative tournament in the tennis calendar.
The full line-up of tennis players for Six Kings Slam 2025 is:
- Jannik Sinner
- Carlos Alcaraz
- Alexander Zverev
- Taylor Fritz
- Jack Draper
- Novak Djokovic
Last year, Sinner beat Alcaraz in the final. The Italian previously defeated Djokovic. Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune, and Rafael Nadal.
Every participant won $1.5 million (€1.3m or £1.1m) just for participating. The winner won an additional $4.5m, so up to $6 million in total (€5.5m or £4.6m). That is considerably more than what a Grand Slam awards, for only three matches if you reach the final (the Wimbledon champions, men and women, took around €3.4m or £3m in 2025).
This year, too, the participants are expected to earn more than a million dollars.

The Six Kings Slam is a tennis exhibition tournament held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Riyadh Season.
Since this is not an ATP-sanctioned event, players do not earn any ranking points and the match results do not count towards official head-to-head tallies.
The event will mark the opening of the Riyadh season, a more global event in Saudi Arabia. “Since the launch of Riyadh Season in 2019, the festival has welcomed visitors from all over the world to experience thousands of concerts, sporting activities, and other unique cultural events. Most recently, Riyadh Season 2024 reached a major milestone after the number of visitors for the year exceeded 20 million for the first time,” wrote the organizers.
