A thrilling first day of the UST took place yesterday, where local player Wu Yibing, Ben Shelton, Gael Monfils, Diego Schwartzman, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton secured victories. In the event organized by Patrick Mouratoglou, the world's top stars compete over the weekend in a Round Robin format on the first two days, followed by semifinals and the final on Sunday.

With half of the group stage matches already completed, Saturday promises to be an exciting day.

The action will start with the clash between Taylor Fritz and Schwartzman, both of whom earned a win yesterday, and a victory for either player would guarantee their spot in the next phase.

Next up is a promising match between two entertaining showmen of the tour, Gael Monfils and Alexander Bublik. Monfils defeated "Big-Foe" yesterday, while Bublik couldn't overcome Shelton, so a defeat would eliminate him from the tournament.

The third match features the local player Wu Yibing against "El Peque" Schwartzman, with the Argentine having a chance to secure a spot in the final if he beats Fritz, while Wu Yibing must win to stay in contention.

Then, Benoit Paire will face Taylor Fritz in their last match. The Frenchman suffered two losses yesterday (against Schwartzman and Wu Yibing), eliminating him from the tournament's final phase.

The day will approach its end with the high-speed clash between Bublik and Tiafoe, where Tiafoe needs a victory, just like Bublik, who, if he defeats Monfils, will have a chance to advance.

The day will conclude with the match between young star Ben Shelton and former world No. 6 Monfils. After the day's matches, the four players who advance to the next phase will be determined, where the first-place player from one group will face the second-place player from the other group.

The big final will take place between the winners of these matches, followed by the awards ceremony and the closing of the event.
