The field of participants for the "Six Kings Slam" in Riyadh has been confirmed and promises top-class tennis. From October 15 to 18, 2025, superstars Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will compete in Saudi Arabia for a record prize money of 7.5 million dollars for the winner. Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz complete the high-caliber field of participants.
However, the official announcement of the event on social media caused quite a stir. On the advertising poster, which shows the six protagonists with crowns, a remarkable mistake crept in, which affected the current world number one, Jannik Sinner, of all people. While Djokovic (24) and Alcaraz (5) have the correct number of Grand Slam titles written on their cheeks, Sinner's face is also adorned with the number "5".
In fact, the South Tyrolean won his fourth major title at Wimbledon just a few weeks ago, adding to his successes at the Australian Open (2024, 2025) and the US Open (2024). Whether the mishap was a simple mistake or a good omen for the upcoming US Open will become clear on September 7 at the latest, when the winner will be crowned in New York. Regardless of the minor glitch, the invitational tournament in Riyadh promises to be an absolute highlight on the tennis calendar.
