Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz star in epic promotion for the 6 Royals Tournament in Riyad, with the winner of the exhibition taking home the biggest cash prize in tennis history

Before the event, a five-minute promotional video featuring the participants of the 6 Kings Slam tournament appeared online.

Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune will take the court in Riyad next month with the highest prize money in tennis history.

Directed by Los Perez, the high-budget film features rival stars battling each other in various historical scenes, and the production quality is as good as a Hollywood blockbuster.

The promotion follows the format of each contestant performing in various historical settings, with various nods to their nationalities and playing styles.

Wimbledon 2024 winner Alcaraz is the first to appear as the 21-year-old battles an android on a court suspended above the desert sands.

Next on the list is Sinner, the world’s No. 1 Renaissance sculptor, followed by Dane Holger Rune, who is at the helm of a Viking boat as it crosses the ocean on its way back.

Medvedev is next, emerging on a bear, before the scene changes to Nadal’s clay golem, a nod to his dominance on the surface.

Djokovic is the last to appear and his involvement has created the scene of the burnt court against the backdrop of the Riyadh skyline.

While the event is officially classified as an exhibition and will not award any ATP ranking points, the lucrative stakes are an incentive in themselves for the star-studded lineup.

Each of the six men featured is guaranteed at least £1.12 million for their involvement, a sum far exceeding the amount awarded to the semi-finalists of this year’s losing Wimbledon.

Meanwhile, the winner will take home a staggering £4.5 million, almost double the previous top prize awarded to 2024 US Open winner Sinner.
