The prestigious Six Kings Slam exhibition tennis tournament in Saudi Arabia has been postponed from its originally scheduled dates of October 21-24 to a later date in December, organizers announced on Wednesday via Instagram. The decision came after a thorough evaluation of the numerous organizational and logistical hurdles that needed to be addressed.
Saudi Arabia has recently faced renewed aggression from the Houthi militia in Yemen, with attacks targeting key infrastructure such as Riyadh airport on Monday and the headquarters of Saudi oil giant Aramco on Wednesday. These developments prompted the postponement of the event, which was set to feature six top players, including new world number one Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic.
The tournament's new dates are now set for December 27-30, allowing organizers to better manage the situation and ensure a successful event.
