"Their game goes to another level": Patrick Mouratoglou defends Ultimate Tennis Showdown as a competition to help players instead of an exhibition

Famous tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes that Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) gave players a chance to remain competitive instead of playing exhibition matches.
The 53-year-old, who is the chairman and the founder of the UTS, expressed those views after being quoted in a report where he also expressed optimism that players will also understand the value of an event like UTS.
“First they [players] love to play it [this event],” said Mouratoglou. “It’s different from what they are used to playing and they really enjoy it. It’s an incredible pleasure for them. They play with always stadiums that are packed with an extremely involved crowd and that’s what players love the most.
“Once again, they chose this job because first they love the game but also because they love sharing with a crowd. So this is the first reason why they love so much UTS. And the second I would say that some players have explained that UTS has helped their overall game.
“Bublik, just to name here The Bublik Enemy, he said to me that before, he was doubting that he could rally with those top guys, and he was relying a lot on his serve. With UTS he had no option than to rally and he said to me it gave him so much confidence in his baseline game.
“And when he comes back on the ATP tour, and he has his serve on top of it, it makes him a much better player. And we see often that players compete at UTS and the following weeks and months they make extremely good results.
“We’ve seen that a lot. And for sure, if you think about it, they play a lot more rallies, they have less time to recover. So their cardio improves a lot. They hit so many balls from the baseline. So they get an incredible rhythm in their game. And when they come back to the tour and they can use another weapon that they cannot use at UTS, then their game goes to another level.”
