Rafa Nadal vs Carlos Alcaraz: schedule, TV, how and where to watch the Six Kings Slam match
Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Nadal meet in the semi-finals of the exhibition Six Kings Slam tournament in Riyadh.
The first Six Kings Slam, the multi-million-dollar exhibition that brings together six of the best players in the world is underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and is an exhibition event and not an ATP-sanctioned event, which means players will not earn any ranking points.
The competition features the current creme de la creme of the game (Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev and Rafa Nadal).
Interest in the competition has grown in the event of Nadal’s retirement announcement and on Thursday evening the Spanish masters meet in the Saudi capital in what will inevitably be an emotional game for both players.
Carlos Alcaraz, winner of four majors, crushed the Dane Holger Rune (6-4 and 6-2) in his first game and now will face Nadal in the semi-finals of the tournament with this set to be the last ever game between the two idols of Spanish tennis, with the Davis Cup in Malaga next month set to mark Nadal’s definitive farewell from the sport.
