GAEL MONFILS WAS THE WINNER OF THE UTS NEW YORK ON AUGUST 23, 2024. HERE HE IS HOLDING THE ZEUS TROPHY.
August 25, 2024
The month of August is not only hot in New York City, but it gets hotter as the sport of tennis explodes with two major tennis tournaments this year, the US OPEN, and UTS - Ultimate Tennis Showdown, both held in Queens, New York. The US Open is held at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York City, from August 26th through September 8th, 2024.
This is the first year of the new 2-day tennis tournament, UTS - Ultimate Tennis Showdown took place on August 22nd, and
August 23rd, 2024. UTS Ultimate Tennis Showdown was created by Patrick Mouratoglou, who has his tennis academies located in the French Riviera, and now this year in Miami, Florida. If you want to play like the pros, you can also attend Patrick Mouratoglou's French Riviera academy, which will cost you about 40,000 euros per year. The academy in Miami, Florida, will cost $78,250 per year.
UTS is an international tennis tournament where different players will play against one another in different cities all over the wold. I only attended day 2 of the UTS Ultimate Tennis Showdown but WOW it certainly was an experience I want to partake in again!!!
What is the UTS Experience? Eight top-ranking tennis players battle it out through a fast, intense, electrifying, immersive, and interactive tournament. Players are mic'd-up and ready to rumble with a loosened code of conduct for fans and players alike.
During Day one on Thursday, August 22nd Nick Kyrgious won against Stefano Tsitsipas aka "El Greco". Due to a recent wrist surgery, he decided it was best to not continue with the tournament giving Stefano Tsitsipas an opportunity to fight to win the Zeus trophy. He played against Gael Monfils "La Monf" and unfortunately could not beat the french tennis player.
During Day 2 on Friday, August, 23, 2024 I couldn't honestly leave my seat and had to watch each player play and battle it out to make it to the next level.
The different matches were exciting to watch and the crowd loved it. The final match playing for the trophy was Gael Monfils aka "La Monf" versus Bublik aka "Bublik Enemy". It was a very close match and both players had spectators rooting for each one making it a very close match till the end. It was "La Monf" who was victorious for this first UTS Tournament in New York. Gael Monfils was a double-winner that day as one tennis player would be awarded the Swiss Genesis watch based on the most exciting game play. Gael Monfils won the watch as well.
Check out some exciting photos and video footage from my 1-on-1 interview with the winner, Gael Monfils "La Monf".
