Who Won the 2025 Six Kings Slam?

Final Match Result

  • The final was played between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on October 18, 2025 (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia).
  • The match was broadcast live on Netflix.
  • As of the latest available official sources, the winner has not been publicly confirmed.

Match Highlights

  • The final capped a three-night exhibition that drew global attention for its prize money and star power.
  • Netflix’s live broadcast marked another step in the streaming platform’s push into live sports.
Bottom line: The Six Kings Slam 2025 final featured Alcaraz vs. Sinner, but the winner remains unconfirmed in official sources. For fans waiting on results, Netflix’s broadcast is the primary place to check match outcomes.

Who Is Playing in the Six Kings Slam?

Confirmed Participants

  • Novak Djokovic — 24-time Grand Slam champion (Riyadh Season, the official event organizer)
  • Carlos Alcaraz — reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion (Riyadh Season, the official event organizer)
  • Jannik Sinner — world No. 1 and Australian Open champion (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia)
  • Stefanos Tsitsipas — former world No. 3 and Grand Slam finalist (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia)
  • Two additional players have not yet been named in available sources.

Change in Lineup: Draper Replaced by Tsitsipas

  • Jack Draper was originally scheduled to participate but was replaced by Stefanos Tsitsipas.
  • Tsitsipas joined the field as a late addition, adding further depth to an already stacked lineup.

“I’m excited to join the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh. It’s a special event with an incredible lineup.”

— Stefanos Tsitsipas, via Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia

The upshot

Four of the six slots are filled with current or recent Grand Slam champions. The two unnamed slots mean the field could still shift — making official updates from Riyadh Season worth watching.

How to Watch the Six Kings Slam on Netflix

Streaming on Netflix

  • The Six Kings Slam was broadcast live on Netflix globally.
  • A Netflix subscription is the only way to watch the event — no other broadcaster has been announced.
  • Matches are also expected to be available on demand after the live broadcast.

Alternative Viewing Options

  • No alternative broadcasting channels have been officially announced beyond Netflix.
  • Highlights and clips are expected on the official Riyadh Season YouTube channel and social media.

Where to watch locally: Viewers in Saudi Arabia can access Netflix via standard streaming plans. For fans outside the region, the same global Netflix stream applies — no geo-restrictions have been reported.

The catch

If you don’t have a Netflix subscription, there is currently no free-to-air or alternative broadcast option. For casual tennis fans, that means a subscription is the only path to watching live.

What Is the Prize Money for the Six Kings Slam?

Prize Money Details

  • Each participant was guaranteed a participation fee of US$1.5 million (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia).
  • The winner received an additional US$4.5 million, for a total of US$6 million (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia).
  • The winner’s trophy was described as a life-size replica of a racket made of solid 24k gold weighing 4 kg (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia).
  • These figures make the Six Kings Slam one of the richest exhibition events in tennis history.

The prize structure creates a clear incentive: win two matches and walk away with six times the guaranteed fee. For context, the winner’s $6 million total exceeds the $3.6 million top prize at the 2025 Australian Open.

Bottom line: The Six Kings Slam pays each player $1.5 million just to show up. The winner walks away with $6 million total and a 24k gold racket — a payout that rivals or exceeds any single Grand Slam champion’s check.

What Is the Schedule for the Six Kings Slam 2025?

Tournament Dates

  • The tournament took place on October 15, 16, and 18, 2025 (Riyadh Season, the official event organizer).
  • Semi-finals were held on October 15 and 16; the final was on October 18 (Riyadh Season, the official event organizer).
  • October 17 was a rest day, required by an ATP rule that players cannot compete on three consecutive days in an exhibition (Wikipedia, the user-edited encyclopedia).
  • A secondary tickets site also confirmed the three-session schedule spread over four calendar days (Riyadh Tickets Map, a secondary ticket marketplace).

Final Time

  • The exact start time for the final has not been specified in available sources.
  • Fans are advised to check Netflix’s event page or the Riyadh Season portal for confirmed timings.

The implication: the rest day on October 17 means players had a full day to recover between the semi-finals and the final. For a $6 million winner-take-all match, that extra recovery matters.
