Following his massive payday at the recent Six King Slams in Riyadh, World No.1 Jannik Sinner has been criticized for competing at the event due to the lucrative prize money. The Italian has denied such accusations, with Paul Annacone, former coach of Roger Federer, coming to Sinner’s defense.
The US Open champion was selected alongside Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune to compete at the exhibition event in Saudi Arabia. Each competitor would receive a $1.5million appearance, with the winner receiving $6 million. Sinner would prevail at the tournament, but received backlash from fans who believe he went to the event to cash in on the big reward.
