Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are set to face off against one another for a final time Thursday as the pair lock horns in the Six Kings Slam.
The 22-time grand slam champion recently announced he’ll be retiring from tennis later this year, with his final appearance coming when he represents Spain in the Davis Cup finals next month in Malaga.
Alcaraz and Nadal, just like they did at the Olympics this summer, will once again team up in Malaga. In today’s Saudi Arabia exhibition match, though, they will be on opposite sides of the net with tennis fans tuning in from around the world.
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.
