Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will bring the curtain down on their historic tennis rivalry as they face off in the third-place match at the Six Kings Slam on Saturday.
Tennis fans are set to be treated to one more battle in the Saudi exhibition tournament before the 22-time grand slam champion calls time on his career, after he recently announced he’ll be retiring from tennis later this year.
After Djokovic suffered defeat to world No.1 Jannik Sinner on Thursday and Nadal lost out to fellow Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, the tennis legends — who have played each other 60 times with Djokovic winning 31 of the matches — face off for a final encounter.
The duo are competing in the inaugural Riyadh Season Six Kings Slam, which features six of the biggest men’s names in the sport. Each player will bank a minimum of $1.5 million for their participation in the tournament with the overall winner pocketing $6 million — the biggest single financial prize in the history of the sport.
The Sporting News has all the details on how to watch the Six Kings Slam as well as Nadal’s final matchup against Djokovic.
