The action in Riyadh gets underway this week with top tennis stars battling it out for the huge Six Kings Slam prize fund.<\/p>\n

This is the second year of the Six Kings Slam<\/a>, and this week we\u2019ll see reigning champion Jannik Sinner<\/a> take on Stefanos Tsitsipas as he begins the defence of his crown.<\/p>\n

Waiting in the wings further down the line is a potential clash with Novak Djokovic<\/a>, and we could yet see a repeat of last year\u2019s final if Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> is at his best. You\u2019d think Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev will have something to say about that, though.<\/p>\n

But, in an event with no ATP Tour points at stake, what are these players actually playing for? Well, it turns out there\u2019s a massive prize pot on offer that\u2019ll boost everyone\u2019s career earnings.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, all six players involved in the Six Kings Slam<\/a> 2025 tournament will receive $1.5 million just for taking part.<\/p>\n

This lucrative payout does mean that, even if a player wins their quarter-final and semi-final match, they won\u2019t receive more than the person they beat.<\/p>\n

However, the eventual winner of the tournament will be awarded a further $4.5 million in prize money, taking their total earnings to $6 million overall.<\/p>\n

With question marks over the fitness of the competitors<\/a> this week, it will be interesting to see who can fight through the pain to grab that golden carrot being dangled in front of them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little look at how much each of the Six Kings Slam competitors have earned this year so far. Unsurprisingly, Alcaraz leads the way with $16 million in prize money in 2025.<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner is behind with $12.3 million, but given the pair\u2019s dominance this season, there\u2019s a huge gap between the top two and the best of the rest.<\/p>\n

Djokovic has earned just under $5 million, while both Alexander Zverev<\/a> and Taylor Fritz<\/a> have pocketed $4.59 million this year.<\/p>\n

For Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a>, this tournament will see him almost double his prize money for the year at the very least. Before the Six Kings Slam, the Greek star had earned just over $2 million this year. He now has the chance to earn three times his annual prize money in one tournament if he can pull off some shock victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover The action in Riyadh gets underway this week with top tennis stars battling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,130576,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-212538","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-six-kings-slam","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
