Vitus in ruins as previous king

 

3 slamless dudes and a has been. What a pointless name for the exho.

 

There is only one legit line-up for a thing named "six kings":

Djokovic
Alcaraz
Sinner
Wawrinka
Cilic
Medvedev

 

What about organizing a sex queens tournament?

Zverev
Tsitsipas
Kyrgios
Rune
Fritz
Berrettini

 

And who said Novak would never win a "Slam" again?

 

 

I hope Novak, Carlos, and Jannik enjoy their well earned paycheck. No comment on the others.

 

Medvedev can vulture Vienna then

 

ATP 250 indoors week

 

Basel/Vienna will get pissed again (and rightfully so IMO)

 

Its atp 250 week

 

If Zverev, Draper and Fritz are Kings then what does that make Murray? A god?

 

I'm assuming Zverev will decline the invitation, considering how often he expresses frustration about the demanding tournament schedule.

 

Knowing Zverev he's probably playing both a 500 a week before the event & one directly after...

 

But the calendar is too long and tiring, no?

 

Not when the pay is on par with the effort.

 

Rune and Meddy out, Fritz and Draper in

 

Rune fuming right now

 

Holger dethroned at 22. It was a short and forgettable reign 😭🤣

 

Looking forward to the trailer to be honest.

 

Yep. I'm intrigued to see who will be the construction worker, who will be the biker and who will be the American Indian...

 

Is it too late to add Dimitrov?

 

If they are just taking the top 6 ranked players, how is it much different than the ATP finals.

I really think exhibition matches only work with big name retired players.

If you got Federer, Roddick, Nadal to play…I think this is an event that would get attention

 

What attention?geriatric slow motion walking on court?
They paying 1,5 million for single match,so they bringing the best possible players available.

 

Jack Draper as the posh (English) Lord of endless stamina?

 

 

Where are Fonseca and De Minaur?

 

Does anyone remember the Abu Dhabi exho that used to be in the pre season? I remember Big 4 playing it pre 2010 and it was quite serious

 

To be fair because of huge appearance fee they played seriously last time.
Winner got something like 6 million.
Your point about Abu Dhabi correct.players like Novak and others used that exho for AO preparation(skipping real warm ups).thats why it was serious

 

Looking forward to Alcaraz whining about the schedule as he plays Laver Cup and the Six Kings Slam exho for the 2nd year in a row.

 

He is not playing Basel(not sure about Beijing) this time.
I dont expect whinning.

 

Weird concept this time. With the scribbles on the faces and bodies. The Six Mumble Rappers Slam. Lil Friz, Lil Z, Lil Raz, Lil Djok, Lil Sin and Lil Drapes. I wonder where they'll go with this / what this will be about once they reveal the trailer.

 

They seem to have gone to some effort to ensure that none of these players actually look like themselves 😂

 

That nearly guarantees that none of them will play Basel or Vienna even if they are on an entry list.

At least we have Shelton, Rune confirmed. Fritz is on the list but I am unsure after seeing this now.

With all the money they use for the prize, they did not have enough money to count how many slam each of the players won thus far! Djokovic and Alcaraz have number 24 and 5 on their cheeks. But so does Sinner, who should most likely have 4. Seems like a super jinx in view of the US Open!

BTW, there is literally no way to motivate players to go to play the ATP500 instead of this. The penalty for not playing enough 500s is much lower than the money they win even just participating into this, let alone winning it all. And they have to play a maximum of 2 or 3 matches.

Novak for years (since 2011)didn't play enough tournaments.didn't care about penalties,because he was so far ahead points wise.

 

The main question is who will be seeded (and will have a BYE in first round?)?
One of them must be Djokovic as for fame, stardom, status. For the other spot you could say it must be the reigning champion. Or you have to draw the player. There is no way you could pick ONE of Sinner/Alcaraz and NOT THE OTHER without a rule to apply. When Djokovic will be retired, they could be inclined to seed No.1 and reigning Chamion (for example).

What do you think?

 

Either Djokovic and Sinner (the biggest legend and the reigning champ) or Alcaraz and Sinner (the #1 and #2 players in the world and the new two best players; winners of the last 7 slams).
