UTS is known for its unique rules, which include four eight-minute quarters instead of traditional sets, a faster pace with only 15 seconds between points, and no second serves to encourage aggressive play. Players can also receive unlimited coaching from the sidelines and engage in in-match interviews, adding an extra layer of entertainment to the competition. The event will feature quarterfinals on Friday, followed by semifinals and the final on Saturday.
This year marks a significant milestone for UTS, as it expands its global reach after successful stops in Guadalajara, Mexico, earlier in the season. The choice of Nimes as a venue highlights the city’s rich history of hosting major sporting events, making it an ideal location for this innovative tennis spectacle.
