After taking a break from tennis, Learner Tien returned with a new vigor that distinguishes him as someone to watch among pro tennis hopefuls in Southern California.In addition to Fritz, scheduled participants include Frances Tiafoe , who cracked the top 10 for the first time in June at No. 10.

“I definitely think we need this type of event,” he said. “I think it’s really too early to talk if it’s going to change something or bring new fans to the circuit, but I think if we are proceeding and going the direction where we are going, I think UTS can be a very, very big asset for professional tennis.”
“One of the reasons we chose L.A. is that L.A. doesn’t have a professional event for such a long time and it’s such an incredible city, a huge city with a great tennis culture, and we thought it was missing,” Mouratoglou said. “I think it’s very important for the young generation to watch tennis live. It’s a big inspiration. It’s one thing to watch behind a screen. It’s another to live the experience, the show, live.
UTS plans three more events in this year’s series. One will be in Frankfurt, Germany; Mouratoglou said he’s finalizing details for events in Asia and a grand finale in the Middle East. How things unfold in Carson this weekend will influence the rest of the series because this will be the first test of his fan engagement ideas in front of large audiences.
