Six Kings Slam is criticized

At the premiere on October 16th and 19th, the six tennis stars will compete in the “ultimate battle” in Riyadh, as the makers artificially inflate the event. But there is actually no shortage of superlatives: never before has a show tournament had such a high-quality cast and so well endowed as the Six Kings Slam, which also took place during the season of the professional organization ATP.

This is only possible because there is no major compulsory ATP tournament during this period and there is a day’s break from competition. According to the ATP, unofficial events are not allowed to take place on three or more consecutive days.

At the start, Spain’s tennis ace Alcaraz will play against Rune from Denmark, while the Italian world number one Sinner will play against the Russian Medvedev. Already set for the semifinals are record Grand Slam tournament winner Djokovic and Spain’s veteran star Rafael Nadal. (dpa)
