6 Kings One Throne... Riyadh Exhibition Promo:}

[ScentOfDefeat]

Unbearably cringe. The world has superhero franchise brain rot.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Mission Impossible 3-7 are insanely epic

The fact that you left off 2 is disgraceful.

 

[zakopinjo]

What is Rune doing there? Where is Zed?

Zod beats women, the media would then attack the Arabs why they call Zod the Cruel and thus clearly show what they think about the rights of women in their country.

 

[Better_Call_Raul]

Six Kings exhibition is wonderful. The ATP has no control over it; Sinner can play even if he is banned!

 

[MichaelNadal]

The fact that you left off 2 is disgraceful.

I’ve never seen 1 or 2 lol. I went with a friend to see 3 in theaters and kept up from there. I watch reactions to 3-7 often also and read reviews and everyone says it got good at 3 so never been curious enough

Those are kids who never saw MI2. 2 and 3 were like 8 years apart so many never saw the first 2. In my opinion, the 2nd one is top 2-3. By far the best opening scene. He did the actual rock climbing for real on a fake set. If you want epic, 2 has you covered. So much of the rest of the series stems from 2.

 

[ErrorMachine]

Im always down for a good Sinner vs Medvdev matchup.
Cakewalk draw for Carlos?

 

[CHillTennis]

ATP Finals need to be handed over to the Saudis and it needs to be made the 5th Slam (Indoors one).

It will become the best Slam replacing Wimbledon.

100% agreed!

This was an absolutely fantastic video!!!

Cant be a slam with 8 players lol. But not a bad idea for a full draw.

 

[_phantom]

I had a good laugh after seeing the video. The only important question is, how much money are they getting for them to fly to riyadh

Appearance fee is 1.5m for each player. Champion gets 6m top.

USD.

Hmm .that explains. For nadal abd djokovic appearance fee might be more

Yes I meant a full draw of 128 players ... best of 5 sets.

It can be called the Saudi Arabia Year End Slam .... Fight to be the King of Kings.

This event can be longer than your 2 weeks, you can make it 3 weeks as well since it is at the end of the calendar year. Make it larger than life. It can be Indoors.

yep. talk about money to burn .
it gives me the impression that saudi arabia could solve world poverty right now if it wanted to

I disagree.

It feels like a shot of energy, something different, which the sport DESPERATELY needs.

I am not sure, it is kind of weird. Now, if the tourney ends up being legit, then maybe that changes my feelings.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

which the sport DESPERATELY needs.

Why? Says who? This is such a weird narrative.

That video was wonderful. Special effects. GOAT Tennis video. Probably cost millions to produce.
Not clear if the players actually participated or if it was all AI?

 

[NoleFam]

Cool video and better than any tennis promo I can remember but still wish it wasn't in that particular country.

 

[JJGUY]

Andy salty for not getting paid to be the 6th King?

I agree with you. Tennis is a stuffy, country club sport. I like these exhibitions of elite tennis players and the promos that follow. I’m a fan of the sports entertainment value it adds and the prize money makes up for it being an expo. I think we need more events like it limited to top players with this sort of epic feel.
The elite tour can rival the atp tour as inventional events offering crazy prizes to bring out the best competition. They had these types of events back in the day, time to bring it full circle on a new level

That's true. There used to be more variety when it came to the events of the past.

Back in the 1970s through the early 1990s they used to have a winner-take-all jackpot event.

It was different, but still interesting to watch.

That's something that the sport really needs right now.

The Laver Cup is as stale as 2 year old bread.

Andy's retired. He has these on-going jokey exchanges on Twitter with Liam Broady. This seems to be the latest instalment.

 

[CHillTennis]

Why? Says who? This is such a weird narrative.

It's pretty obvious that we're heading into the dark ages of the post Big 3 era, where Alcaraz and Sinner (Doper to some) are the only attractions that the sport has to offer.

 

[onehandbh]

Now if only they could make the camera angles and live broadcasts of tennis more exciting.

Pretty much every young person I know avoids watching tennis on TV/streaming online. They feel like it is boring -- and this is amongst the people that play tennis.

 

[onehandbh]

The Laver Cup is as stale as 2 year old bread.

True, but it gets a lot of people wanting to watch it due to the big3 participants.

 

[CHillTennis]

Now if only they could make the camera angles and live broadcasts of tennis more exciting.

I would be happy if they could get rid of Robbie Koenig from the commentary box.

He is awful!

So is Nick Kyrgios.

 

[onehandbh]

Seems like it will end up being like one of those movies where they cut a trailer that makes an otherwise dull movie seem exciting.

I want better angles and cuts during the broadcasts/streaming.

Look at how the NFL and NBA and even NHL's camera angles and broadcasts have evolved over the years.

Tennis has barely changed to the point, that sometimes, court level videos uploaded by fans are even more exciting to watch.

 

[CHillTennis]

True, but it gets a lot of people wanting to watch it due to the big3 participants.

It's fine to have an event like the Laver Cup.

Actually, I'm all for it.

But the idea of Team Europe vs Team Rest of The World has been done to death...

It might as well be team Miyagi-Do vs Team Cobra Kai.

They need to either change the format or pull the plug on this thing.

Team Countries that have colonized and tried to expland their territory
vs
Team Countries that stay at home

Four teams would be more exciting.

Eight would be even better.

 

[GloW]

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.

im pretty sure sascha refused the offer

 

[_phantom]

im pretty sure sascha refused the offer

When this year's lineup was finalized, Zverev's fate as a player was still uncertain due to the court case. I suppose that's why Rune was included.

 

[Cabeza del Demonio]

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...

Should've put Casper Ruud in that role, he deserves it way more

 

[victorcruz]

Was that really Ragnar Lothbrook in Rune's arc? Love me some Ragnar

No one wants to see Zod.

Even Riyadh is ABZ.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Well when everyone has the charisma of a bag of dried pineapple bits….

That's not a recent occurrence though, that pretty much describes the big 3 for me. If it wasn't for the tennis they played and the rivalries they had between them, if it was only down to personality, sheesh...

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

It's pretty obvious that we're heading into the dark ages of the post Big 3 era, where Alcaraz and Sinner (Doper to some) are the only attractions that the sport has to offer.

I'm pretty sure tennis will survive. It was around long before those players and it will continue after them. Unless, of course, people brainwash themselves into thinking about this recent era in quasi-religious terms, which does happen and is very unfortunate (the same happened with the Borg-Mac era).

To be fair, the sport has never been in this bad of shape.

We've never had a seven year period of players in their early to mid 30s dominating the field.

 

[BlueB]

2 big kings + 1 small king + 1 semi retired king + 1 retired king + 1 court jester

1 king, 1 dethroned king, 2 princes, 1 tiny prince, 1 jester.

 

[messiahrobins]

Money money money. Yikes

All involved in this should be ashamed.

 

[messiahrobins]

guess I didn't pay attention to the format, so this is more like 3 princes and 1 spoiler to challenge 2 kings slam!

Why have Nadal and Djokovic got byes exactly? What a ****ing farcial load of bollocks this is.
Will they all come out to ABBAs Money Money Money song?
Bet they all have to sing the Saudi national anthem as well.

Maybe they should all come out singing this?

The draw reminds me of the stage select screen from Mortal Kombat 3.

 

[CHillTennis]

1 king, 1 dethroned king, 2 princes, 1 tiny prince, 1 jester.

Two GOATs, Two good players, two mugs.

Sinner wins, Dopeality, flawless victory!

 

[Hitman]

More attractions will come, they always do. Alcaraz and Sinner are two great leaders for the sport at the top, the supporting cast will continue to build.
