Men’s Clay Court Championships, Romanian Open, and Grand Prix Hassan II are all in progress. But instead of taking part in these tournaments, several well-known players have opted for a non-ATP event this week. Felix Auger-Aliassime and others prepare for the UTS event in Nimes.
Since Ultimate Tennis Showdown was co-founded by Patrick Mouratoglou in 2020, 15 events have been staged globally. The 16th UTS event, and the first of the year, takes place this Friday and Saturday at the Arenes de Nimes in France. Eight top players are heading to France to put the finishing touches on their Monte Carlo build-up inside the unique amphitheatre setting.
This weekend’s lineup features Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev, both former Masters 1000 champions. No other men’s event happening this week offers matchups with as much intrigue as this one. If you’re a fan of clay court tennis, it might be worth a watch.
