Saudi tennis ‘slam’ with Alcaraz, Djokovic postponed amid Houthi attacks

The Six Kings Slam exhibition tennis tournament in Saudi Arabia, featuring top men's players including Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, has been postponed from October to December 2026. Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki al-Sheikh announced the delay on October 14, 2026, citing organizational reasons amid a series of Houthi attacks on the country. The event had been scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia before the security situation prompted organizers to push it back by two months.
