From a unique digital engagement platform to NFTs for the most exciting moments in tennis to a soon to be digital debut on the Blockchain. Builder.ai is going to be UTS partner as it takes this uncharted route to making tennis more accessible, more relevant and more engaging for a younger demographic.
This event marks the return of Professional Tennis to Los Angeles and will take place from July 21-23 in the Dignity Health Sports Park’s Tennis Stadium. The Los Angeles event will be the fifth staging of this revolutionary concept which began in 2020 - and the first ever outside Europe.
In 2023, there will be three regular events all around the world, and for the first time, a Grand Final crowning the season champion. The Los Angeles event winner will qualify for the UTS Grand Final (December 7-10). The other two regular events will be held in Frankfurt, Germany (September 15-17) and in Asia/Middle East (December 1-3).
