Women's tennis is preparing one of the big surprises for the end of the season. Are you fans of the format showcased by 'Six Kings Slam'? Well, Seoul will be the host of The Six, a new exhibition that will bring together six of the top figures in the women's circuit during the last days of December. According to Tenisklub, the event will take place between December 26 and 28 and will feature a truly luxurious lineup.

The announced list includes Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, and Iga Swiatek, three of the main protagonists of this new generation. Alongside them will also be Mirra Andreeva, Naomi Osaka, and Jasmine Paolini, completing a group of six stars that will cap off the competitive calendar with an event outside the official circuit. The event will be purely exhibition in nature, meaning it will not award points for the WTA ranking. Its celebration will simply allow the participants to warm up for the upcoming 2027 season.

A format yet to be discovered

For now, many details about The Six remain unconfirmed. The competition format, the specific venue that will host the matches, and the amount allocated for prizes have not been officially announced. Only the information about the dates, from December 26 to 28, has been leaked, while the lineup has been reported along with the announcement of the new exhibition.

The main attraction will, in any case, be the gathering of six top players during the Christmas season. Rybakina, Sabalenka, Swiatek, Andreeva, Osaka, and Paolini make up a lineup that combines Grand Slam champions and finalists, while also balancing young stars and established figures of the circuit. If the dates and participants are confirmed, The Six will become one of the last major tennis events of 2026, although we will have to wait to know all the details.
