UTS London tickets grand final 2023

Patrick Mouratoglou’s ‘Ultimate Tennis Showdown’ hits London as tickets go on sale


When super-coach Patrick Mouratoglou commits to a plan he certainly doesn’t spare any effort and one of his most high profile projects, the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, a full throttle attempt to take tennis into the 21st Century, has announced it’s 2023 season finale will take place at the Excel Centre in London from 15th to 17th December with tickets already available.

Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) was devised by Patrick Mouratoglou, recent coach to Serena Williams, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune as well as the founder of the Mouratoglou Tennis Academies’. The unique tournament features mic’d up players, only one serve per point and bonus cards encouraging tactics and gamification.

The UTS was first launched in 2020 but this year has really taken centre stage thanks to a roster of players including Daniil ‘The Chessmaster’ Medvedev, Andrey ‘Rublo’ Rublev and Nick ‘King’ Kyrgios combined unbelievable tennis with shots like this ’round the net smash’ from French maestro Gael Monfils.

UTS is specifically designed to give spectators an unforgettable experience with matches benefiting from a set start time and lasting just 45 minutes rather than the (often criticised) format you’ll find at most professional tennis tournaments

As Mouratgolou says himself, “For me, a big part of UTS successfully engaging fans was always going to be around the players that we invited to help pioneer the sport. I believe that what makes a fan is emotional connection: getting to know a player, connecting with him and choosing to support; or the opposite – seeing an aspect of a player’s personality, and deciding to oppose him. We like sports because we like some people, and we dislike other people – we are emotionally involved. That’s why we’ve invited some of the most expressive, passionate, mercurial players on the Tour to be part of UTS. Individuals like Nick Kyrgios, Alexander Bublik, Gael Monfils and Frances Tiafoe are almost guaranteed to get the crowd involved, one way or another.”
