Six Kings Slams - Medvedev's incredible winnings

This week sees the ambitious and monumentally lucrative Six Kings Slams exhibition in Saudi Arabia.

Featuring Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the event spared no expense.

Each participant is guaranteed to leave Riyadh with $1.5 million, regardless of his or her result.

Thus, although Daniil Medvedev was beaten by Jannik Sinner in just 1h09 (6-0, 6-3), he will receive this sum. This is by far the most profitable win in tennis history.

If we go into more detail, the Russian will have earned $21,739 per minute and $362 per second.

As for Holger Rune, he also earned the same amount after being beaten by Alcaraz in 1 hour 12 minutes (6-4, 6-2), i.e. 3 minutes more.

As a reminder, the winner of this exhibition will take home $6 million, roughly the equivalent of 2.3 US Opens!
