Netflix is gearing up for an exciting event with its upcoming Six Kings Slam, set to take place at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With a blend of top-notch players and a renowned commentary team, the tournament promises to deliver high-stakes tennis action.

The impressive U.S. commentary lineup features former world No. 4 Tim Henman, Spanish doubles champion Feliciano Lopez, Olympic mixed doubles silver medalist Laura Robson, and seasoned analyst Mark Petchey. Each of these commentators brings their unique insights and perspectives, ensuring that viewers will receive an in-depth understanding of the matches as they unfold.
In addition to the domestic team, Netflix has curated commentary crews from around the globe, reflecting the tournament’s international appeal. The French broadcast will be handled by Samyr Harmoudi and veteran player Fabrice Santoro, while the German team consists of Jan Platte and Andrea Petkovic. For Portuguese speakers, Ivan Bruno and Thomaz Bellucci will provide coverage, and Spanish-speaking audiences can look forward to commentary from Nico Periera and Ricardo Celis.

The tournament, which kicks off with the quarterfinals on October 15, will see an exciting set of matchups.

The semifinals, held on October 16, will include potential clashes between Carlos Alcaraz and either Zverev or Fritz, alongside a showdown between Novak Djokovic and either Sinner or Tsitsipas.
