What is the prize money for the Six Kings Slam?

All six players will bank a minimum of $1.5 million USD for their participation in the tournament. The winner will take home $6m USD if they claim the ultimate victory.

It will be the biggest single financial prize in the history of the sport, outranking even the $3.8m USD currently awarded to Grand Slam winners.

Is the Six Kings Slam a fifth Grand Slam event?

The Six Kings Slam is not a Grand Slam event. It is an exclusive exhibition tournament featuring the sport's best players from the ATP Tour, but is not an official event either.

That means that players will score no ranking points for their performance and that it does not count alongside the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.
