Professional tennis returns to Adelaide this week, with the UTR Pro Tennis Tour providing competition opportunities for current and aspiring professional players from around Australia.
Tennis SA and Tennis Australia, in conjunction with Next Generation Memorial Drive, will host two UTR Pro Tennis Tour events from Monday 9 May to Sunday 22 May 2022.
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) and feature a group round robin followed by a World Cup-style playoff format.
Approximately USD$40,000 in prizemoney will be on offer each week, with a total prizemoney pool of over AUD$110,000.
“Tennis SA is pleased to see the UTR Pro Tennis Tour return to South Australia this week,” Tennis SA CEO Debbie Sterrey said.
“We wish all players the very best of luck, we are looking forward to a wonderful fortnight of professional tennis.”

Additional information
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. Every player can have a UTR – from the pros to juniors to social tennis players.
