Six kings slam 2025

The best thing for me is that they have tie up with Netflix this year and can see the matches in higher quality.
Instead of trying the streams
 
It’s interesting that Djoker gets a bye while Sinner has to earn his way to meet Djoker in the semis. The way it looks, Alcaraz is the #1 seed, Djoker is #2, and Sinner is #3. I don’t get the reasoning behind the seeds. If Djoker were #1, then I’d get it. The seeds in that scenario would be based on career slam titles.

Anyway, I agree with the OP. A tourney with this kind of prize money deserves its own thread. This is the biggest-paying event that there is.

They will introduce rules to make senior player like Djokovic and Nadal play semis and the 3rd place match.
So of course criteria of most slams can be smartly put.
And by that logic, Djoker should be #1 seed. But then, who cares

Ahh. Got it. You summed it up perfectly in the first paragraph. They are putting the senior players in the semis automatically. They did that with Nadal and Djoker last year while world #1 Sinner was seeded lower than them.

...they should have also respected the veteran tsitsipipi and let him pass bye...let the kids sweat, not the grandpas ...
 
how did they allow Queen Fritz and Stef? Those Saudis are clueless.

make the balls and court ultra fast and allow Wawrinka, Meds, Cilic, Jox, Jan & Raz

6 slam winners still playing high level bo3 matches not just 2 Selfie sticks with no Majors

fast conditions makes it cut throat, serve well + return well win.

Less time on court from pure high percentage aggression

Slower conditions would be more cutthroat. if you can't hang in a rally, you will get swept away. That's why low constitution mugs like Berrettini, Kyrgios, Anderson, and Raonic have made it to the final in wimbledon.

Im against pushery in general, just prefer hacker conditions solely for clay. Make everything else fast as 90s indoor.

The old Slam winning dudes Cilic and Stan prefer to tee off not defend all day and can shine in faster conditions

Cilic and Stan playing challengers and qualies almost weekly deserved it more than Slamless Zevstefritz selfies.

Even Meds finally playing reliable offence in last few weeks after making racquet changes at the end of last year.

Rid fluffy balls and hackerama for exos, Crusher Tennis is better for exos, leaves players fresh for more.

I do thing 6ks would be better on indoor hard, I agree with that. But regardless 0 chance of seeing Cilic and Wawrinka going past the first round. I still stand by clay as the most skillful surface in general and least prone to upsets because this.
 
I thought Sinner was the King? He crushed Alcaraz in the final last year so why does he have to play in the first round this year? How does this make sense?
 
Seeding based on charisma (y)

Heh, heh, no pre-event video this year that I have seen. This is an interesting picture - dude to the other dide of Jannik next to Novak doesn't look like Fritz if that's who it is meant to be. Liked the fact that Carlitos / Jannik are holding the same racquet - the top 2 players and actual current kings.

...since none of the two gods of modern tennis is present in Riadh, i 'll go with tsi-tsi-fast...the guy is a genius !
Moutet is one god (and the one true god), so who is the other in your eyes?

And we know the only true Goddess of tennis, Camila Giorgi, has sadly left the game...

Ah, another sportswashing exhibition tournament for top players to line their pockets even more than they already are.

Not my thing.
I totally agree. But I'm also going to watch it.

The Wawrinka overrating has got to stop sir

He’s 40, not some fast-court jaguar anymore.

...the one & only true genius ( after novak of course) : the incomparable Daniil Medvedev...the crazy danya !

...after ana ivanovic i was done with the girls...

I forgot to mention Egg. :giggle: No disrespect intended toward Eggbots.

Two Kings. Two mugs. OldEgg. And inexplicably Tsitsicrates.
 
How did Tsitsipas get a slot with his low ranking?
They must have gone down a long list until they got to him and everyone was committed elsewhere. With a reported $1.5 million for showing up there must be a lot of upset players.

Putting aside Tsitsicrates, everyone is excited to see Sinner again thrash Egg. I think there is too much money involved in this Exo for Sinner to let Egg win even a set. :(

“The money is nothing we’re trying to hide. We know how much is at stake here, and it would be a lie if I told you it wasn’t a motivation, said Sinner, … Every player here will try to win as many matches as possible. It’s like any other exhibition — except here there is a bit more motivation.”

that list has a deep bottom must be expected to come from behind

Even Struff or Perricard would have been better in fast conditions
serving and volleying is possible again with current low bouncing
balls as long as courts are fast and dampened like Omni-court as
used all over Asia and warrants aggression.
 
And inexplicably Tsitsicrates.

...because of his fine hair !
...refined with olive oil and oregano !

Matron not Sir or Mr those are peasant titles

Serving @ 70% first serves and his FH or BH on warp speed courts could beat anyone.

Matches are short and not for a whole week, which is also why Cilic shows peak levels
at the start of events.

This is not rocket science considering Stan notable scalps in the last year have been:
Rublev, Cazaux, Perricard (7/6 7/6 against commentator picks), Engel, Basavareddy,
Fokina (2.5hrs), Popyrin and lost at the AO to peak Sonego 6-4, 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 .

Patty cakes like Stef and Fritz are Slam-less and characterless moaners.

1. ...you keep lumping tsitsipipi and fritz in the same bag...no relation...tsitsipipi is a hobbyist-influencer, while taylor is a pro tennis player of the "kittie" category...

2. ...this is not a tennis tournament...this is show business...the girls are going crazy for tsi-tsi-pi-pi hair...noone wants to see marin , giovanni , or jan-lenard...

That's just not true in todays game. Bigger hitters are better on slower courts (Wawrinka, Thiem, 2025 Shanghai finalists) and counter punchers like faster courts (med, demon, mannarinno) because players with no power cannot hit through the slow conditions
 
The players have done the hitting.funny to see zverev and Fritz in king avatar in their scorecard

Prakash was discussing with Feliciano Lopez and some lady player in courtside
 
Why are Carlos and Novak already in the semifinal? Really weird. Why does Sinner have to play 3 matches to win the whole thing, while the other 2 only two matches. I don’t like this format.

Also Sinner was the king last year. So unfair:sick:
 
What is the prize money for
1st round losers
4th place
3rd place
Runner up
Champion

Don’t ask, don’t tell. There is plenty of $ to go around.

1. Why did they invite Fritz’s biggest pigeon? Should have invited Brooksby.

2. Apart from his serve, Fritz has a fugly game. Makes me miss FEDR.

3. Who is the commentator with the Spanish accent? He’s terrible.

4. The place seems empty. Maybe people are taking advantage of the local cultural amenities. Or maybe people are only interested in seeing Carrot beat up Egg again. :D
