Boris Becker was delighted after watching Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune dancing together. The six players, who are currently competing at the inaugural Six Kings Slam exhibition event, enjoyed a night out in Riyadh on October 18.

The aforementioned Six Kings kicked off the exhibition on the 16th of October when Jannik Sinner decimated Daniil Medvedev to knock him out of the competition and set up a semifinal clash with Novak Djokovic. This was followed by a scintillating win for Carlos Alcaraz, who ousted Holger Rune to confirm his meeting with Rafael Nadal.

On the second day, Sinner ousted the Serb in a topsy-turvy three-setter, while Alcaraz got the better of his idol in straight sets. Now, the 24-time and 22-time Major champions will butt heads for the third place, whereas, the two young rivals will duke it out in the summit clash on the final day.

However, before the final day, the six men got an off day and decided to spend a fun night out in Riyadh together. They spent the night singing, dancing, playing fun games, and immersing themselves in the local culture.

The clips of the 'Six Kings' dancing together went viral online delighting tennis fans all over the world. It also sparked a reaction from the German tennis legend Boris Becker.

"The 6 Kings dancing along ...," he tweeted.

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have met 60 times in their legendary careers with the Serb edging the head-to-head 31-29. They hold the record for the most number of meetings in the Open Era for men.

Their third-place match at the Six Kings Slam is likely the final time Nadal and Djokovic face each other since the 14-time Roland Garros announced that he would be retiring after the 2024 Davis Cup Finals.

Ahead of their likely final meeting, the Spaniard said that he was ready to enjoy his match against Djokovic, in what he called the 'last battle'.

"Yeah, we've played an awful, quite a lot of times in our careers. So one more time it's going to be good fun. I think, yeah, excited about playing, against again Novak. We had super long and beautiful story behind. So yeah, let's try to enjoy that last battle," Nadal said.

On the other hand, the 37-year-old called his upcoming battle against his longtime rival a 'fantastic opportunity' to share the stage.

"Yeah, should be fun. Rafa and I played 60 times or more. So it's another fantastic opportunity to face each other before he retires from tennis," Djokovic said.

Once they conclude their third position match, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will take center stage as they look to become the winner of the inaugural Six Kings Slam.
