Saudi Arabia enters the tennis scene with a top class event. Novak Djokovic (36), Rafael Nadal (37), Carlos Alcaraz (20), Jannik Sinner (22), Daniil Medvedev (27) and Holger Rune (20) will participate in a show tournament in October. The event in Riyadh is being marketed as the “Six Kings Slam”.
Saudi Arabia has been investing huge amounts of money in the sport for some time now. The country, which has been repeatedly accused of human rights violations, wants to increase its influence in the world and improve its image. Saudi Arabia has achieved success in golf, Formula 1 and football, among others.
The desert state has been trying to gain influence in tennis for some time. It was recently announced that Nadal had taken on a role as ambassador for the Saudi Arabian Tennis Association. There has also been speculation for some time that the WTA year-end tournament will take place in Saudi Arabia for the first time this year. (SDA)
