Sinner Arrives in Riyadh for Six Kings Slam Opener Against Tsitsipas on Oct. 15

Netflix will stream the no-points exhibition exclusively.

Overview

  • Sinner’s quarterfinal with Stefanos Tsitsipas is scheduled for Wednesday at 18:30 Italian time at Riyadh’s Anb Arena.
  • He arrived Sunday night and will train Monday at the venue with coach Simone Vagnozzi and physiotherapist Alejandro Resnicoff after recovering from cramps in Shanghai.
  • The exhibition runs Oct. 15–18 with a six-player draw: Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic begin in the semifinals, with quarterfinals on Wednesday, semifinals on Thursday and the final on Saturday.
  • Organizers offer large financial incentives, with reported appearance fees around $1.5 million and about $6 million to the winner, and no ATP ranking points at stake.
  • If Sinner defeats Tsitsipas, he would face Djokovic in the semifinal and could meet Alcaraz only in a potential final; the field also includes Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz.
