The 2025 Six Kings Slam is the second edition of the tennis exhibition tournament hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the Riyadh Season. The exhibition took place on 15, 16, and 18 October 2025. 17 October is a rest day in order to follow an ATP rule that players cannot compete on three consecutive days in an exhibition.
History
Each of the six participants is guaranteed a participation fee of US$1,500,000, with the winner taking home an additional $4.5 million, for $6 million total.[1] In addition, the winner received as a trophy a life-size replica of a racket made of solid gold 24k, weighing 4 kg, identical to the one with which the soon-to-retire Nadal had been honored the previous year.[2]
Format
The six participants were initially announced in August 2025;[3] however, Jack Draper suffered a season-ending arm injury,[4] and he was replaced by Tsitsipas.[5] The bracket was announced the following month, with Alcaraz and Djokovic receiving first round byes.[6] The final saw a rematch of the 2024 Six Kings Slam with a face-off between defending champion and world no. 2 Jannik Sinner and world no. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, where Sinner defeated Alcaraz in straight sets (6–2, 6–4). Taylor Fritz achieved his first win against Novak Djokovic in the third-place playoff, when the latter retired after losing a closely contested first set (75″, 6–7(4–7)).
