Jannik Sinner serves at Erste Bank Open in Vienna at the "Six Kings Slam"

Before his appearance at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna, Jannik Sinner defends his title at the exhibition tournament "Six Kings Slam" in Riyadh. Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, who are also competing in Vienna, are also present in Saudi Arabia.

Just for participating, each of the six "Six Kings Slam" participants receives a fee of 1.5 million dollars. It is therefore not surprising that the top 5 of the ATP rankings are in Riyadh, even if they often complain about the very busy tournament schedule.

"Six Kings Slam" before Vienna Stadthalle Tournament: Sinner meets Tsitsipas in the Quarterfinals

In addition to Jannik Sinner, world number one Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and superstar Novak Djokovic are also present. Only Tsitsipas falls short as 25th in the ranking in comparison, he is a substitute for last year's winner at the Vienna Stadthalle Tournament, Jack Draper. The Briton has ended his season early due to injury. The tournament is played from October 15 to 18 (exclusively on Netflix) in a "best of three" format, with Alcaraz and Djokovic seeded and entering only in the semifinals. Sinner opens in the quarterfinals against Tsitsipas, followed by Zverev against Fritz. On the final day, there is a match for third place in addition to the final.
