Six Kings: One Crown. The world’s top-ranked men’s tennis players took to the court in Riyadh for a star-studded live tennis showcase.
A key part of Riyadh Season, the 2025 tournament opened with a dazzling hologram show and was part sport-event, part premium entertainment. The lighting design aligned with ‘showtime’ rather than purely sports functional and delivered a dynamic, visually striking environment celebrating the energy, speed and emotion of the game.
The event was lit predominantly with Robe Forte and Spiider fixtures supplying a consistent high ISO giving the flicker-free, uniform court illumination with strong contrast on player faces and minimal glare that the broadcast required.
