Jack Draper will participate in the Six Kings Slam tournament, which will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 15 to 18, 2025. This tournament will feature the best tennis players in the world, including current champion Jannik Sinner, who will defend his title.

Among the participants will also be Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, and Novak Djokovic. All participants are guaranteed to receive $1.5 million for participating, which is part of Saudi Arabia's strategy to promote a modern image through sports.

The Six Kings Slam was first held in 2024, when Jannik Sinner won the final, earning six million dollars. This year, the tournament will not count towards the ATP rankings, but it offers the largest prize money in tennis history.

Draper, who is ranked fifth in the world rankings, has had a successful year, including a breakthrough at Indian Wells. He also reached the semifinals at the US Open last year, making his debut at the Six Kings Slam particularly significant.

The organizers have not yet confirmed which players will proceed directly to the semifinals, but it is likely that they will be Alcaraz and Sinner.
