Ultimate Tennis Showdown

The Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) is an international individual tennis league first played in 2020. The competition was organized by tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, and Alex Popyrin — entrepreneur and father of Alexei Popyrin, in response to the disruption of the tennis season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1]

The events use a modified scoring format, with matches divided into timed quarters, and players allowed to play power up "cards" during matches to impact the game.

Format[]

UTS matches use a different format in comparison to traditional rules, including matches being divided into timed quarters rather than sets, a 15-second shot clock for serves and the ability to take a coaching timeout once per-set, and "cards" — which allow players to affect the game (such as taking away the opponent's second serve). The UTS also does not enforce a code of conduct.^[3][4][5]
