For the
first time, an event of this kind will come to South Korea between November 30
and December 3 of this year at KINTEX, Goyangsi, an indoor stadium with a
capacity of 10,000 spectators.
The exhibition tournament will kick off with a special Thursday All-Star Game, where fans will get a first glimpse of the big stars who will be playing in the tournament.
First
four players who will be part of the event lineup organized by coach Patrick
Mouratoglou have been confirmed.
The main
attraction will be local player Soonwoo Kwon "The Machine," a former
world No. 52, currently ranked 107th in the ATP ranking.
Exciting
players like Nick "King" Kyrgios, Gael "La Monf" Monfils,
and Alexander "The Bublik Enemy" Bublik will join him to ensure a
thrilling show in Seoul.
Confirmation
is still pending for four more players who will join in a format similar to
that of the ATP Finals and Next Gen Finals.
In other
words, two groups of four players each compete against each other, and the top
two from each group advance to the semifinals.
The best

determine the finalists.
The
champion of UTS Seoul qualifies for the final event of the year, which is the
UTS Grand Final scheduled to take place between December 7th and 10th.
