Ultimate Tennis Showdown aims to reshape the way tennis is played and consumed, through an exciting new format designed to express the personalities of the players while also appealing to the modern sports viewer.
What exactly does that mean?
Shorter matches, mic'd up players and new creative rules are all means of bringing the viewer closer to the action while offering something different. Matches are played in timed quarters, with no lets or second serves. Players' personalities are promoted over their rankings, and concepts are borrowed from the gaming world to give things a modern touch.
"We will create a mixed-reality universe that will attract a younger community with a format suited to digitally-native audiences that have different sports’ consumption habits," UTS co-founder, chairman and CEO Patrick Mouratoglou says. "The tennis revolution is on!"
