Rio de Janeiro, the vibrant ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’ that captivated the world as host of the 2016 Olympic Games – where its open-air tennis facilities witnessed unforgettable and emotionally charged battles – is preparing for a groundbreaking return of professional tennis. A decade on, the sport will once again grace the city, but in a radically transformed format. The UTS Tour, an innovative elite league spearheaded by renowned coach Patrick Mouratoglou, has officially announced its plans to host an event in Rio next July. This highly anticipated return promises a spectacle that will be almost unrecognisable to those who attended the Olympic matches of 2016.
