Le créateur d'UTS, Patrick Mouratoglou, a été séduit par ce qu'il a vu lors de la grande finale de l'UTS à Londres, et a de grands projets pour l'avenir. "C'était un grand événement", a-t-il déclaré lors d'une interview, après que Jack "The Power" Draper a soulevé le trophée. "Le public était au rendez-vous. J'ai l'impression que les gens prennent leurs repères avec l'UTS et qu'ils encouragent de plus en plus les joueurs. Et nous avons tout eu. Nous nous sommes amusés, nous avons eu des tensions et nous avons aussi eu du tennis de grande qualité avec des joueurs déterminés et qui voulaient absolument gagner". "Certains joueurs ont joué un tennis incroyable. C'est impressionnant de penser qu'ils sont au milieu de leur pré-saison et qu'ils sont déjà capables de jouer aussi bien. "Ils ont offert un spectacle incroyable." Et ce n'est pas fini. "Je sais que si je venais regarder, sans connaître UTS, j'en tomberais amoureux", a déclaré Mouratoglou, "mais je pense que nous avons encore une grande marge de progression et j'ai pris beaucoup de notes". Il a ajouté : "Nous aurons à nouveau quatre événements en 2024. Le premier aura lieu en février, à Oslo, et les trois autres, c'est un mystère pour l'instant."

00:00 It was a great event. First, the crowd, it was packed.
00:03 I feel that people get more and more used to UTS and they were cheering more and more.
00:07 And we had everything. We had really fun moments, we had drama,
00:11 and we had also great tennis with guys completely locked in and wanting to win so badly.
00:18 We had some incredible matches. Some guys played incredible tennis.
00:22 I mean, it's impressive to think that they are in the middle of their preseason
00:26 and they're able to play already that well. They offered an incredible show.
00:32 And it was a grand final, so in a way, the winners of the events,
00:35 the guys who had more points than others at UTS, make sense.
00:40 And they knew they were more on the line, supposed to be the world champion of the year.
00:43 Jack was very impressive because he was without his biggest weapon to serve
00:48 and he showed incredible qualities, beating the best guys from the baseline
00:53 and being especially incredibly efficient on the big points and big moments.
00:57 I think under pressure, he showed a quality that will be very helpful in the future.
01:02 I know that if I would come to watch not knowing UTS, I would fall in love with it.
01:08 But I think we have still a big gap for improvement and I took a lot of notes.
01:14 I don't want to say more than that, but there are a lot of things we can do better.
01:17 We'll have four events again in 2024. The first one will be in February.
01:21 is going to be in Oslo and the three others it's a mystery for the moment.
