"Call of the Kings"

It's a royal knockout.

With fifty-three Grand Slam titles between them, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune are the current kings of tennis (though Sinner may have an asterisk next to his name soon enough). Saudi Arabia reckon they have a tournament fit for a king or six.

The Six Kings Slam, which sounds like the main event at a WWE pay-per-view, takes place in Riyadh this October, and that calls for a witty, larger-than-life, bat-shit crazy trailer. It's kind of Riyadh Season's thing, so best ask folk like Los Pérez (Tania Verduzco and Adrián Pérez) to make it.

The Spanish-Mexican duo do not disappoint. Ever wanted to see Medvedev ride an armoured bear, or Rune brandish a sword that turns into a racquet? How about Djokovic at one with a pack of wolves, or Nadal as a man-mountain made of clay? Then this is the promo for you.

Alcaraz's match against a cyborg is decent enough, but Sinner has a blast as a Roman sculptor. In reality, however, a few cracks have started to show at the worst possible time for the Australian and US Open champion—will his fellow kings seize on it?
