Andy Roddick has revealed that he ‘feels sick’ after Jack Sinner earned more than 25% of his career prize money at the Six Kings Slam exhibition.

Andy Roddick ‘Feels Sick’ After Hearing Jack Sinner Prize Money

Roddick is one of the biggest names to represent American in the sport of tennis and he claimed to have no interest in the Six Kings slam tournament which took place in Saudi Arabia.

The US tennis star feels the tournament looked completely unnatural and weird, despite Sinner earning $6 million after winning the tournament.

This was the largest sum of money that a tennis player has ever won from a singular slam event, as the Italian beat Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz on his route to the trophy.

This prize money is just under half of Sinner’s overall winnings from the 2024 season, as the world number one has taken $12,032,935 home – winning seven ATP titles including two Grand Slams so far and is the favourite to win the Australian Open on UK betting sites.

During Roddick’s career he earned a reported $20,640,030 from prize money which spanned across a 12-year career from 2000 to 2012 – ranking as the world number one at one stage.

Across these 12-years, the American sports star won 32 ATP single titles, which included the 2003 US Open on home soil and five Masters 1000 titles.

On an episode of his own podcast, Served with Andy Roddick, the 42-year-old had his say on the Six Kings Slam and went through the prize money.

He said (Via Served with Andy Roddick):  “In all seriousness, I never begrudge anyone their choices. Listen, someone’s going to pay you that amount of money and you have to go do awkward dancing.

“The whole thing looked completely unnatural. It just looked weird. I had no interest in it.

“Even the Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal thing, I don’t know, it felt fine, felt like an exhibition but without the charm of a Laver Cup where you’re seeing the interactions between players and the legends get brought back.

“For better or worse we’re gonna see more of these types of things, these exho’s outsized budgets”

The US tennis star then made a sarcastic comment over Sinner making more than 25% of Roddicks career earnings from the event in Saudi Arabia.

He said (Via Served with Andy Roddick): “It definitely doesn’t make me sick to my stomach that he (Sinner) made more than 25% of my career prize money in three days of exhibition tennis.”
