The UTR Pro Tennis Tour will return to Adelaide this month, providing competition opportunities for current and aspiring professional players from around Australia.
Tennis SA and Tennis Australia, in conjunction with the West Lakes Tennis Club, will host two UTR Pro Tennis Tour events from Monday 24 May-Sunday 6 June 2021.
The events come following the successful rollout of the UTR Pro Tennis Tour in 2020. The format will feature singles only competitions for men and women based on Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR).
Over USD$30,000 prizemoney will be on offer each week, with a total prizemoney pool of over AUD$75,000.
“Tennis SA is thrilled to see the UTR Pro Tennis Tour return to Adelaide this month,” said Tennis SA CEO Debbie Sterrey.
“A sincere thank you goes to the West Lakes Tennis Club for hosting these tournaments, we are looking forward to a wonderful fortnight of professional tennis.”
The UTR Pro Tennis Tour offers current and aspiring professional players with more opportunities to compete, improve their game and support themselves with prize money. This format guarantees more player competition and results will count for UTR, a global tennis rating system.
During 2020, with the global tennis tour disrupted by the pandemic, the UTR Pro Tennis Tour helped support local players, allowing many of them to continue to compete and earn prize money during a challenging time.
Each UTR Pro Tennis event will practise safe COVID-19 practices and follow all public health advice, to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
The fields for the tournaments will be announced in the coming weeks.
What is a UTR?
Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) is an international tennis rating system that connects millions of tennis players around the world to help them find better matches locally. UTR reflects a player’s current skill level based on head-to-head match scores, and rates all players across age, gender and nationality on the same 16-point scale.
