The highly anticipated “6 Kings Slam” exhibition featuring tennis legends Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and more just got even bigger. Organizers have now confirmed an astounding $6,000,000 prize purse for the one-day event.
The whopping winner-takes-all format will see either Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, Murray, Wawrinka or del Potro walk away with the record prize money after the 6-player round robin on February 17th.
With such an enormous payout at stake, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the iconic players to battle for bragging rights. As Djokovic said, “We will all fight hard for that top prize!”
The extravagant purse reflects the momentous nature of having the Big Six compete together in Dubai. With their eras winding down, this marks likely the last chance to see these legends share a court.
While some criticize the inflated prize money as an exhibition gimmick, players themselves are relishing the chance to add another career milestone. “At our stage, we play for history and feats like this,” said Nadal.
No matter who ultimately wins the mammoth winner-take-all jackpot, fans worldwide can celebrate seeing their idols reunite. The 6 Kings Slam promises to be a night of revelry in honor of the icons who defined a golden generation in men’s tennis.
