Alex de Minaur<\/a> collected one of his biggest prize money hauls of 2025 after winning the UTS Grand Final in London for a second successive year after a thrilling win against Casper Ruud in the final.<\/p>\n

A big crowd at London\u2019s Copper Box lapped up the fast-paced UTS action, with matches played over four quarters and players only having one serve per point.<\/p>\n

The two players with the highest ATP Ranking competing in the end-of-season event highlighted their class by reaching the final and it was De Minaur who prevailed, as he won a whopping $640,000 for his three days work.<\/p>\n

That is a little less than he collected at last month\u2019s ATP Finals ($727,500), but more than he collected for his run to the US Open quarter-finals in September, where he left New York with $660,000.<\/p>\n

De Minaur is preparing for his wedding to British tennis player Katie Boulter next year, so their fund of that special event has been boosted healthily in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to win here again,\u201d said De Minaur. \u201cLondon is a special place for me and it\u2019s my home now, so it\u2019s always great to play at this event and even better to win again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some tough matches here this week and play Casper in the final was always going to be difficult so it\u2019s amazing to come through.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no rest for me now. I might take Monday off, but then it\u2019s back on court practicing for the new season.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about his love of UTS tennis, De Minaur confirmed the all-action event suits his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played a few of the UTS events now and I\u2019ve enjoyed it. Having only one serve is an interesting mindset change and I enjoy trying to adapt to it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find the noise and chaos of UTS a little easier to deal with when I know it\u2019s coming and that\u2019s the case in UTS. When everything is quiet, you hear every noise, but it\u2019s never quiet at UTS and it showed me that I can play like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get used to the fact that the crowd are going nuts, screaming and the music is playing and it means you have to find a different way to focus in on playing points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruud made a strong start in the final, but as soon as de Minaur got comfortable with his shots after the first quarter, there was not much Ruud could do.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe played better, much better,\u201d Ruud said. \u201cIt just creates a lot of problems for me in my game. He plays so flat, so low, so deep. It suits these conditions. Amazing. It\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s winning this tournament for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Norwegian had a great event, reaching the final for the first time thanks to a thrilling sudden death win against Andrey Rublev from Russia (3\u20132 : 9\u201317, 15\u201311, 7\u201317, 17\u201311, 2\u20130).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m getting more and more experienced, so that obviously helps,\u201d Ruud said. \u201cI didn\u2019t use the bonus card very well in this Final Four, but I feel like I know when it\u2019s a good time to use it. And if I come to the sudden death, I have at least played a few times before. So I know the kind of pressure and the feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can say that Alex de Minaur is the best player ever in this format, for now,\u201d Patrick Mouratoglou, UTS founder, said. \u201cHis achievements show it. He\u2019s always super competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mouratoglou reflected on a hugely successful year for UTS Tour, which saw the format make its debut in Latin America and in Asia as well as events in N\u00eemes and now London. \u201cThe stadiums are full everywhere we go. We had some incredible highlights this year with nearly 12,000 seats full in an historic stadium in N\u00eemes; the videos went viral all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is much more to come. The average age of the fans we have is way lower than traditional tennis fans; we dropped 20 years. Bringing new fans for tennis and younger fans was a goal, and that\u2019s great because we will keep them for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTS mastermind Patrick Mouratoglou has already booked in two events for 2026 and given the success of his third successive end-of-season showpiece in London, we can expect to see more of the enjoyable mayhem created by this competition back in England\u2019s capital next December.<\/p>\n
