Sinner Set For Return At Postponed Six Kings Slam In December

World number one Jannik Sinner is set to make his competitive return at the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia following the exhibition tournament’s postponement to December due to security concerns, organizers announced on Monday.

The 25-year-old Italian, who won the previous two editions of the event, announced earlier this month that he would sit out the remainder of the 2026 ATP Tour season as he continues to rehabilitate a knee injury suffered after his Wimbledon victory in July.

The injury ruled Sinner out of the European indoor hard-court swing and the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, where he was the two-time defending champion.

With Sinner sidelined, Alexander Zverev has guaranteed himself the ATP year-end world number one ranking.

Originally scheduled for October 21–24 in Riyadh, the lucrative non-ATP exhibition will now take place from December 27–30. Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the previous two finals, taking home the $6 million top prize on each occasion.

Alongside Sinner and Alcaraz, the star-studded field in Riyadh will feature Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur.
