RIYADH: The second edition of the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament will air exclusively on Netflix, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority has said.
The tournament, part of the Riyadh Season entertainment program, will feature six leading players from men’s tennis.
It is set to take place from Oct. 15-18 and will be offered live to Netflix’s more than 300 million global subscribers at no extra cost, Turki Alalshikh, the head of the GEA, said.
Reigning champion and world No.1 Jannik Sinner of Italy is set to defend his title at Riyadh’s ANB Arena, with Spain’s five-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz, and Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic, winner of a record 24 men’s singles Grand Slam titles, also taking part.
Three-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev of Germany, Britain’s world No.5 Jack Draper and the 2024 US Open finalist, America’s Taylor Fritz, form the rest of the lineup.
The tournament’s first edition last year saw the world’s top two players pitted against each other in the final, with Sinner coming from a set down to defeat Alcaraz 6-7, 6-3, 6-3.
