Italian Sinner<\/a>, winner \u200cof the previous two Six Kings, announced \u200cthis month that he would not \u200ccompete again in 2026 as he continued his recovery from a knee injury that \u200chas sidelined the 25-year-old since \u2060winning Wimbledon in \u200cJuly.<\/p>\n That decision ruled him out of the \u200bEuropean indoor hardcourt swing along with the season-ending ATP Finals in \u200bTurin where Sinner also triumphed in the last two years.<\/p>\n The lucrative Six Kings \u2060Slam exhibition \u200bevent, a non-ATP tournament, was due to take place in Riyadh from October 21st to 24th, but is now scheduled for December \u200c27th to 30th.<\/p>\n Organisers announced the date change after an attack by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis on Riyadh’s international airport killed 13 people.<\/p>\n January’s Dakar Rally was moved out of Saudi Arabia due to security concerns, and golf’s Asian Tour has postponed the Saudi International indefinitely.<\/p>\n Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> \u200cin both Six Kings finals, earning \u200bhimself $6 million at each event.<\/p>\n Along with \u200cSinner and Alcaraz, the event will also feature Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Alexander Zverev<\/a>, Taylor Fritz<\/a> and Alex de Minaur<\/a>.
