How Much Did Each Player Earn at the Six Kings Slam?

The second edition of the Six Kings Slam is in the books as World No.2 Jannik Sinner repeated his run from last year, overcoming World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz in the final with relative ease.

With no official title or ranking points on the line, these exhibitions will never quite carry the same pressure or bragging rights as a tour match. However, with a huge amount of money at stake, you can still expect the players to give it their all in an “exhibition match.”

Here’s how much every player earned this weekend in what is the biggest prize purse of any event on the tennis calendar.

How Much Did Every Player Earn at the Six Kings Slam

Alexander Zverev

Alexander Zverev had the shortest time on court in this event, clocking just 58 minutes of action in total. His brief stay in Riyadh pocketed him a cool $1.5 million.

That translates to about $25,800 per minute, or roughly $431 per second. For that kind of return, even a seventh consecutive loss to Taylor Fritz might be worth it.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

The most unlikely player to have participated in this year’s Six Kings Slam, here only because Jack Draper had to end his season prematurely due to an arm injury, the Greek will still have 1.5 million reasons to thank the Brit.

Playing just 76 minutes the entire way, Stefanos Tsitsipas earned roughly $19,700 per minute on court — an outrageous $330 per second.

Novak Djokovic

The leader in both Major titles and career earnings by a distance, Novak Djokovic was also handed a $1.5 million purse for his efforts in Riyadh, where he lost all three sets played before retiring mid-match in the third-place playoff.

As always, it was a masterclass in efficiency from the great Serb, with his 139 minutes on court earning him around $10,800 per minute and $180 per second in total.

Taylor Fritz

The third-place winner this weekend, Taylor Fritz, had to work the hardest for his earnings, with the consolation being a $1.5 million prize.

Logging 204 minutes across the event, that works out to around $7,350 per minute or $122 per second — not too bad for three days of hard work.

Carlos Alcaraz

Runner-up once again, Carlos Alcaraz received a first-round bye at this event and only had to play two matches, which guaranteed him his $1.5 million fee.

In total, he spent 143 minutes on court, and while he’s no stranger to large sums given his status as the face of men’s tennis, he still pocketed a more than handsome $10,500 per minute and $175 per second.

Jannik Sinner

Champion for the second year running, Jannik Sinner was the player who spent the most time on court this weekend, 212 minutes in total, and earned the biggest reward for it.

With the winner’s prize set at $6 million, he was effectively billed at a staggering $28,300 per minute or about $472 per second, leaving Riyadh with both the paycheck and the golden winner’s racket.
