Although more and more players are raising their voices because of the busy schedule, fans are a bit surprised by the fact that most of them will be playing in the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament held in Riyadh. Six invited players participate in this tournament, and it is played in an elimination format.
Every player who takes part in the tournament will have an appearance fee, i.e. a fee for participation, while they can win an additional prize if they win and achieve a good result. The winner of the tournament can earn about 6 million US dollars.
Taylor Fritz defended his and his colleagues' views, stressing that everyone would agree to play in this tournament considering the huge financial injection.
The guaranteed starting fee is $1.5 million, and winning this tournament brings you as much as $6 million.
