World No. 1 Jannik Sinner to Return At Six Kings Slam In December

Two-time defending champion and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner will return to the tennis court at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Dec. 27, marking his first appearance since winning Wimbledon. The event, originally scheduled for October, was postponed due to an attack by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen, which resulted in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries at the international airport in Riyadh.

Sinner, who won a record $6 million for his victory last year, will compete alongside other top players such as world No. 2 Alexander Zverev, the French Open and U.S. Open champion, as well as seven-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz.
