Medvedev Skips £4.5M Slam, Focuses on ATP 250 Comeback

As of October 16th, 2025, former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev has decided to skip this year's lucrative Six Kings Slam, where players can earn up to £4.5 million for winning the tournament. Medvedev competed in the inaugural edition of the event last year, taking home £1.1 million despite losing his opening match in around an hour.

However, this year, Medvedev is focusing his efforts on the Almaty Open, an ATP 250 tournament taking place this week. After a challenging season, the Russian player has enjoyed a resurgent Asian swing, and he is now looking to build on that momentum.

Medvedev's decision to forgo the Six Kings Slam in favor of the Almaty Open suggests that he is prioritizing his long-term development and performance over the potential for a massive payday. The Almaty Open, while offering a smaller prize pool, may provide Medvedev with the opportunity to regain his form and confidence, which could ultimately lead to greater success in the future.
