6 Kings Slam Promo Video: Analysis

6 Kings Slam Promo Video: Analysis

Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner perform in a cinematic tour de force

I hate that I have to start a fun, tongue-in-cheek bit “describing” a really cool 6 Kings Slam promotional video with a disclaimer. But welcome to the world we find ourselves in. First of all, the 6 Kings Slam video is a promotional masterpiece. It uses creativity, humor and action special effects to publicize the upcoming tennis exhibition taking place next month in Riyad, Saudi Arabia. It features the best tennis stars and presents them in a new and unique way.

Secondly, my 14-year-old son, who doesn’t like tennis, loved it. They reach young people! This 6 Kings Slam video is good for the sport, period.

That said, if they can have some fun, so can I. Please appreciate my “analysis” of the movie, which is purely for entertainment purposes. And if anyone gets offended, cheer up, Francis. And no, I don’t mean Frances Tiafoe.

For analysis…

Alcaraz

Judging by his forehand technique, it looks like the bot Alcaraz is playing against is actually Novak. After seeing a backhand shot, you become even more convinced. Look at the head tilt, people. Knowing Carlitos, yes, too NO he hits his backhand on the last shot – he throws shots. Am I right? Yes I am.

Sinner

Why does Jannik want to destroy his beautiful monument? Is there a hidden message here about Sinner – no, about all of us? At one point he even seems mildly amused by the self-destruction? This is pretty much me every time I eat fast food, tearing my insides out with an amused smirk.

As Sinner watches his head explode, I can’t help but think of what it must have felt like when yesterday’s WADA announcement was made. Just when he thought the whole disaster was over, a bigger mess appeared on the floor.

Medvedev

I wonder if Meddy had a choice between the bear and the octopus? And he chose the bear? I would prefer an undersea theme. Like Medvedev’s maniacal octopus against a Nemo-style submarine.

Other than that, I totally enjoyed this movie until Meddy took over the universe by riding a bear and volleying. Meddy? Volley? I’m surprised his people signed up for it.

Rune

Why did Holger’s men blow it up? It’s just Ruud. ?

But give Rune an Oscar. His acting is on point. What I wouldn’t give to show up to a game with Casper wearing that makeup. No warning or explanation. Just a Holger in black like a Viking’s eye, ready to play.

Nadal

I vote that we take this clay statue of Nadal capturing the essence and replace it with the current one in RG.

I also guarantee that when the tennis ball eclipses the sun, there will be plenty of discussion on tennis Twitter about how these changing conditions will affect the Reef. Answer: No effect whatsoever.

Djokovic

As for Novak’s scene – you can’t criticize perfection. That he looms over him (a nod to his record), his body position (a nod to his meditation practice)… the leader of several wolves (you know who you are)… That he stops the ball with his mind? Come on – that’s what he does.

Final Analysis: This 6 Kings Slam promotional video is a cinematic gem. A very expensive gem.
