Six Kings Slam starts today: Times and how to watch quarter-finals with Sinner, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Fritz

The Six Kings Slam starts today, Wednesday, in Riyadh, the second edition of the exhibition tournament that brings six of the best tennis players at the moment to Saudi Arabia, fighting not for ATP points nor for prestige... but for money, the largest prizes ever in tennis, even more than winning a Grand Slam.

Every participant will get $1.5 million (€1.3m, £1.1m) for participate, and an additional $4.5m to the winner, who will walk out of Riyadh with €5.5m or £4.6m more money. Announced last summer, Stefanos Tsitsipas joined after Jack Draper suffered a season-ending injury.

The tournament could bring a reunion for World No. 1 Alcaraz and World No. 2 Sinner, but don't expect changes in world rankings this week: that may come later in Paris Masters (October 25 - November 2).
