Stefanos Tsitsipas has been added to the Six Kings Slam line-up after British No. 1 Jack Draper was forced to pull out of the tournament when he ended his season early due to an arm injury. Tsitsipas joins a star-studded field of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz, with a huge prize on the line.

The three-day exhibition tournament is staged in Saudi Arabia as part of the Riyadh Season and boasts a total prize pot of £10m. Players are guaranteed £1.1m just for turning up, while the winner bags an extra £3.3m.

Draper was expected to make his debut at the exhibition this year, but an arm injury derailed his season. After suffering a shock second-round exit at Wimbledon, he announced that he would skip the Masters 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati to rest his arm.

He returned at the US Open, reaching the semi-finals of the revamped, two-day mixed doubles event with Jessica Pegula. Draper also won his opening match in the singles before pulling out of the tournament altogether.

Days later, the Brit confirmed he would be shutting down his season entirely. "Unfortunately, the injury to my arm is something I have to rest and means I'll be sitting out the rest of 2025," he wrote.

"It is very difficult for me to accept as I was building some incredible momentum this year and playing some great stuff."

Last year, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune joined Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner at the inaugural Six Kings Slam.

In what was one of his final tournaments before retiring, Nadal faced Djokovic one final time in the third-place playoff match and lost 6-2 7-6. He was then presented with a gold racket.

Along with Zverev and Fritz, Tsitsipas will be making his debut at the lucrative exhibition this year. The two-time Grand Slam finalist has struggled with form of late, dropping to No. 27 in the world.

Tsitsipas has not won back-to-back matches since the Barcelona Open in April. He recently suffered a disappointing defeat to Joao Fonseca in the Greece vs Brazil Davis Cup World Group tie.

The Greek star led 5-3 in the final set and served for the match, but Fonseca stormed back to win 6-4 3-6 7-5, winning the tie for Brazil.

Tsitsipas has also been dealing with ongoing back issues. But he'll be hoping to bounce back in the relaxed atmosphere of the Six Kings Slam.
