Beginning of hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the ATP Tour?
Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sinner, Medvedev and Rune have committed to an exhibition in October. A busy month on the ATP calendar.
Saudi Arabia, via its General Entertainment Authority, has announced a major tennis exhibition tournament for October. Named the "6 Kings Slam", the event will bring together 6 of the world's greatest tennis names: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune.
No precise date has yet been given, but this exhibition, which will undoubtedly offer a substancial prize money, could enter into direct competition with the ATP Tour calendar. Two ATP 500 events, Vienna and Basel (both 21st to 27th), and above all two Masters 1000 events, Shanghai (2nd to 13th) and Paris-Bercy (from the 28th), are scheduled for October. Wait and see.
