Superb video !
Djokovic, Nadal, Sinner and Alcaraz look great in the video.
Sinner acted the best in the video, various expressions on his face, very impressive...... the worst is Rune... what an idiot .... even Thor's lightning doesn't do any good to his image... he looks weird.... @NeutralFan @BorgTheGOAT

I laughed my butt off at Rune being the "King"...LOL I try to remember last time he achieved somethnig significant, specifically this season and all i can think of is choking and setbacks one after another...

Quite corny but maybe not so much for younger generations. Claydal was great and Djokovic pulled the grey wolf well. Not bad acting by Sinner and now futuristic Alcaraz makes sense story-wise...

Also, Rune is slamless, what is he doing there? They should have put Thiem in there, and get his last pay check.

Not Thiem
I would say Zverev. Sasha is also slamless but he at least is a top 5 player and will put up a good show. He is one of the 6 kings now and has a better personality than loser Rune.
He looks terrible as Thor. He tries to put up a serious face but terrible. Even that guy in that norse series Ragnarok on Netflix is better than this Rune clown.

Zverev would have been definitely better than Rune but he is slamless. Thiem has a slam. If you win a slam, you’ll know what it’s like to be a king!

LMAO THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY COOL HAHAHA
Futuristic Karl, Yan the Caesar, Rune the Viking and Meddy on a bear defending the Wall
Claydal hitting the most insane ballistic mooball has ever been seen just for it to get frozen by a coldblooded Nolemort surrounded by his own pack of wolves
Let the Saudis handle the tour media instead of ATP immideiatly. Epic.

This is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, tennis commercials I've ever seen. Yes, it's made for money and marketing purposes, so? Sports need money from viewers to survive, an add and event like this cannot be made for free.
Every single drop of the video was a full-engrossing cinematic experience. My favorite parts were Meddy riding a bear (LOL, too Russian) and a Nadal made of clay (great tribute to his legacy as the King of clay), with Djokovic portrayed as the Serbian wolf being the icing on the cake.
Magnificent. 10/10.

Indeed.... this is probably the greatest tennis commercial I have ever seen.
Probably the Roddick Undertaker commercial of the old times come second? I mean it's been a while before we saw something interesting.
This one of the most entertaining one ever made, they've poured some money and creativity into this. .... loved it.

The Meddybear part was so plain meme. All of it devoid of irony and sophistication, maybe apart from Sinner's sly smile in the classical temple with some Voltaire? in it. Great stuff, had to watch it again....
some kind of short round robin would've been nice to get all the matchups
I wonder if an unreleased version had an RF97 sticking out of the ground
It's unfortunate that the amount of money and care lavished on this promotional video is inversely proportional to the significance of the "tournament." A piece of propaganda like this would be more suitable for Wimbledon or perhaps the tour finals in a year in which the stakes are even higher than usual (e.g., 2016). Heck, even the Laver Cup had more riding on it.
There were exhibitions back in the 1970s that players actually did take seriously, such as the Pepsi Grand Slam (which was retroactively converted into a real, rankings-worthy tournament, albeit with a tiny field) and the first Connors-Laver encounter. But this Riyadh spectacle feels more like a commercial for a cruise ship vacation.

But consider the size of prize money $6M, I don't doubt anyone would not play their best to win there (just 2 or 3 matches to win, one day rest before the final), unfortunately we can't say the same thing about Laver Cup, I never watched any Laver but I think I will watch 6 King, even they are both exhibitions.

The Rafa statue reminds me of an old Onion article about Rafa's "clay lifestyle":

Rafael Nadal Credits French Open Success To Living In A World Of Clay
MALLORCA, SPAIN—In a relaxed group interview given immediately following his record-tying third consecutive French Open victory, world No. 2-ranked tennis player Rafael Nadal attributed his astounding clay-court performance to staying focused, rising to the challenge of facing quality opponents...

This gives me vibes of Mission impossible, Bond, and Oceans 11 where they have a heist at one of these events. This whole thing is odd and borderline creepy.The GOAT

What kind of a rigged format is this? Is the DNC running this?
Djoker and Rafa have a bye and are directly into the Semi-Finals.
Alcaraz and Sinner have to play in the Quarter Finals.

Mission Impossible 3-7 are insanely epic
Calm, dude. It's just an exho. The only one that cares are those who are there to play and take the money.

What is Rune doing there? Where is Zed?
If Rune loses the first match is he still eligible for runner up match?
