The Six Kings Slam will be one of the last events of his career for Rafael Nadal.

The Six Kings Slam is one of the most anticipated events in the tennis world. At the exhibition, the best players from the ATP Tour compete against each other on the hard courts of Riyadh. The four-day event will see games take place over three days, with players given a day off. Fans in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will see some top-notch action.

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune will take part in the event. The six players compete against each other and fight for record-breaking prize money. All participants will receive $1.5 million (approximately INR 13 million) and the winner will receive $6 million (approximately INR 51 million).

The paycheck is the highest ever in tennis. The staggering numbers are one of the reasons the event’s name will go down in history. Aside from featuring legendary players, the format is also unique unlike any other ATP event. Since the players only have to play a maximum of three games in more than four days, they have enough rest.

The points format could also be interesting as it will be announced before the games. Fans will be able to see Nadal at the Davis Cup final in Malaga, Spain, before his retirement. The Spaniard had previously declared in court that his trip was over. He hopes to do some vintage photography in Riyadh.
