In the midst of the Six Kings Slam dispute and from the Stockholm tournament, the Norwegian did not shy away from talking about the Saudi arrival in sports, providing a vision that contrasts with the usual.
Arabia Saudí
Three months ago, Saudi Arabia announced its latest and most ambitious step into the world of tennis. It was the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition that promised to bring together the crème de la crème of racket sports, with the biggest prize money in history. We hadn't heard anything more about this event... until today: Saudi authorities have confirmed that the event will take place during October 16 and 19, with the 18th as a rest day (the ATP does not allow an exhibition to be held for three consecutive days). The participants remain Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune... and the monetary figures are, to say the least, staggering: 1.5 million euros guaranteed for each player and 6 million for the winner, the largest prize in the history of this sport. Quite something.
