Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia postponed to December 27
Summary

The Six Kings Slam exhibition scheduled for October in Riyadh has been postponed to December 27 due to security concerns regarding recent bombings at the Riyadh airport. The event features players including Carlos Alcaraz, Alex de Minaur, Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz, Learner Tien, and Alexander Zverev. With a purse of $13.5 million, attendance remains financially enticing for the players. Following the holiday season, players will need to manage their preparation for the exhibition while also gearing up for the United Cup, which begins on January 1. It's unclear if players will participate given the tight schedule and Alcaraz's interest in preparing for the upcoming Australian Open.
