Six Kings Slam or Six Kings SHAM? | Why Tennis Exhibitions Miss the Mark | Ep. 72
Alvin and Patrick dive into the “Six Kings Slam” — the Netflix-streamed exhibition in Saudi Arabia that paid six of the world’s best players $1.5 million each to show up. They debate whether events like this help or hurt the sport, what makes exhibitions feel hollow, and why true stakes are the lifeblood of tennis.
Later, they hit on how exhibitions could actually work, the future of Laver Cup vs. Davis Cup, and finish with early thoughts on the ATP and WTA year-end finals.
