Andy Murray is not a fan of the Six Kings Slam trailer, which has stars like Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner in it. Murray feels that no one is interested in the upcoming exhibition match.
A five-minute teaser featuring Djokovic, Alcaraz, Sinner, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune was released over the weekend by the tournament’s organizers. The tournament is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia from October 16–19.
Alcaraz plays the “Sand Man,” Sinner is the “Renaissance Artist,” Rune is a “Viking Warrior,” Medvedev is the “King of Bears,” Nadal is the “Clay Warrior,” and Djokovic is the “Leader of Wolves” in a promotional video.
However, former world number one Murray responded to X by saying he doubted he would attend the exhibition match.
Murray wrote: “Except it’s not a movie and you won’t watch it because it’s an exhibition tennis event that nobody cares about.”
Tennis legends Djokovic and Nadal have already advanced straight to the semifinal of the lucrative competition; the other four players will have to play quarterfinal matches.
While the winner of the match between Alcaraz and Rune will face Nadal, Medvedev and Sinner will compete for the privilege of taking on Djokovic in the round of eight.
The six players in the multi-million dollar Six Kings Slam will receive enormous prize money; the winner will take home ÂŁ4.8 million, and each player will receive a guaranteed appearance fee of ÂŁ1.2 million.
