CALL OF THE KINGS
WHO WILL CLAIM THE THRONE?
Tennis had been set in its ways for decades. So for Six Kings Slam, we served up an epic blockbuster that reimagined the sport’s greatest stars in a way they’d never been seen before.
Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Medvedev, Rune, and Sinner were morphed into warriors summoned from their own cinematic universes, forged by their playing styles. And in an epic journey to Riyadh, the players looked like real superheroes — ready to return an incredible show for the fans.
With over 5 minutes of Marvel-esque epicness, the tennis world and beyond lit up in anticipation of the event’s arrival, showing that even some of the world’s most classic sports can be reborn.
