Six Kings Slam 2025 on Netflix: how the tournament works in Saudi Arabia and the prize money
Six tennis champions are ready to compete in the Six Kings Slam 2025tournament on stage from 15 to 18 October with a final prize pool of 6 million euros. The scoreboard predicts the entry directly into the semifinals of two players and, consequently, two quarter-finals that will define the challengers. These two matches are scheduled today October 15th. The semi-finals will be played tomorrow instead, while the finals for third place and the title they will be broadcast on the 18th.
Now in its second edition, the tournament was won last year by ours by Jannik Sinner, ready to “defend” the title. Furthermore, for the first time, the Six Kings Slam of Riyadh will be broadcast in live streaming on Netflix with the technical comment entrusted to the voices of Federico Ferrero and Guido Monaco. Netflix will offer an exclusive and interactive production, with 4k images and 360 degree cameras.
The board with all the match times: Jannik Sinner plays tonight
So we start today at 6.30pm with Zverev-Fritz and above all (but not before 8pm) Sinner-Tsitsipas who was chosen as a replacement for the injured Jack Draper. The winners will advance to the semi-finals where tthey will face one Alcaraz and the other Djokovic, who have already qualified for the semi-finals. On paper the most likely final is Sinner-Alcaraza year ago Jannik won in three sets. Here is the complete scoreboard:
Quarter-finals
6.30pm: Alexander Zverev vs Taylor Fritz
To follow (not before 8.00pm): Jannik Sinner against Stefanos Tsitsipas
Semifinals – Thursday 16 October
6.30pm: Carlos Alcaraz against Zverev or Fritz
To follow (not before 8.00pm): Novak Djokovic against Sinner or Tsitsipas
Final – Saturday 18 October
6.30pm: 3rd/4th place final
To follow (not before 8.00 pm): 1st / 2nd place final
The participants in the Six Kings Slam 2025: it is still a challenge (but there is controversy) between Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
Many have wondered (and some even complained) on why Jannik Sinner will have to play one more match than Alcaraz and Djokovic. The motivation is simple: the players are placed on the scoreboard based on the number of Slams won. AND no one has more than Djokovic. The Spanish champion Alcaraz can count more than Sinner and this is why the two tennis players are already qualified for the semi-final.
Sinner will therefore play today against Tsisipas who, as is known, hasn’t exactly had a great season. In fact, the Greek champion has dropped significantly in level in 2025, he won only one tournament (Dubai) and completely missed the semifinals in all Masters 1000s played. Slam speech even more weighty given that it has always stopped in the second round. Jannik’s victory therefore seems almost obvious.
Possible outsiders: Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz
Timeless champion and winner of 24 Slams, the Serbian tennis player arrives at Six Kings Slam 2025 not in perfect shape. In fact, a few days ago, at the Shanghai tournament, Nole was beaten by Valentin Vacherot26-year-old Monegasque tennis player ranked 204th in the world. Too many aches and pains for the Serbian wolf who tried to grit his teeth due to back pain but was forced to abdicate in the semi-final. However, history has taught us that Djokovic should never be considered “dead”.
Another surprise could be the American Taylor Fritz, number 4 in the world and fresh finalist of the Tokyo tournament where he was beaten by Alcaraz. Winner of a bronze at the Paris Olympics last year, Fritz is currently perhaps the only tennis player capable of breaking the Sinner-Alcaraz “monopoly”.
