UTS 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The second edition of Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) took place between July 30 and August 2, 2020.

Here, 11 players competed. In the group stage, 8 players were placed in two groups of 4 (one was replaced midway through the tournament), where only the top players of each could qualify from each to reach the Final 4 where "The Lion" Alexander Zverev and "The Panther" Félix Auger-Aliassime had already qualified. "The Hammer" Matteo Berrettini was the defending champion in the men's tournament, but chose not to participate. Zverev won the event, defeating Auger-Aliassime in the final 19–10, 11–13, 10–18, 18–8, 3–1.[1]

This was the first edition of UTS to have a women's tournament. 4 players participated in a playoff style format. "The Thunder" Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova defeated "The Volcano" Alizé Cornet in the final 16–8, 12–11, 11–14, 9–16, 3–1.[2]
