Andy Roddick pointed out that Jannik Sinner earned “more than 25%” of his career prize money at the Six Kings Slam exhibition and suggested this makes him “sick.”
The American tennis great also proclaimed that he had “no interest” in the event in Saudi Arabia as he thought it looked “completely unnatural” and “weird.”
Sinner collected a staggering $6 million for winning the Six Kings Slam — the largest paycheque in tennis history.
The Italian star defeated Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals, Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals and Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the exhibition tournament.
The 23-year-old’s prize money for his three matches in Riyadh is almost half of the $12,032,935 he has earned so far in over 10 months of his outstanding 2024 season. The world No 1 has won seven ATP titles, including two Grand Slams, this year.
Roddick, a former world No 1, earned $20,640,030 in prize money during a 12-year professional career spanning from 2000 to 2012. He won 32 ATP singles titles, including the 2003 US Open and five Masters 1000 crowns.
In an episode of the Served with Andy Roddick podcast, Roddick was critical of the Six Kings Slam as he discussed the huge prize money offered.
“In all seriousness, I never begrudge anyone their choices,” the American said. “Listen, someone’s going to pay you that amount of money and you have to go do awkward dancing.
“The whole thing looked completely unnatural. It just looked weird. I had no interest in it.
“Even the Novak and Rafa [Nadal] thing, I don’t know, it felt fine, felt like an exhibition but without the charm of a Laver Cup where you’re seeing the interactions between players and the legends get brought back.
