Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have been given a helping hand at the Six Kings Slam as they have both received a bye into the semi-finals. The tournament is set to be played in Saudi Arabia in mid-October, with only six stars featuring.
Djokovic will be among the favourites to win the tournament, with Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune also competing.
The Serbian has won 24 Grand Slam titles throughout his illustrious career but wasn’t able to add to his tally this year.
The Six Kings Slam gets underway on Wednesday, October 16 as Medvedev takes on Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals for the chance to play Djokovic the following day.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon champion Alcaraz will also go head-to-head with Rune on the opening day, with the winner of that encounter facing Nadal on the Thursday.
There is a third-place play-off on Saturday, with the final also taking place on the same day.
