Overview
- On Monday Sinner reposted the Six Kings Slam poster and organisers confirmed he will play the exhibition in Riyadh from December 27 to 30.
- The event is an outside‑tour exhibition that pays very large appearance fees and prizes, reportedly $1.5 million per participant and up to $6 million for the winner.
- Sinner has been sidelined since his July 12 Wimbledon win by a right‑knee injury and has been rebuilding in Monte Carlo with Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill involved in his preparation.
- An unconfirmed report in The Times says Magnus Norman may replace Darren Cahill on Sinner’s staff, but the coaching change has not been officially confirmed.
- Sinner’s absence and the December exhibition date leave his 95‑week run at No.1 vulnerable, with Alexander Zverev about 700 points behind and able to overtake him as early as the first week of November depending on Vienna results.
