The first UTR Pro Tennis Tour<\/strong> tournament at Next Generation Memorial Drive has come to an end this afternoon with top ranked players Katherine Westbury<\/strong> (NZL) and Dayne Kelly <\/strong>(Vic) claiming the titles.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s, Westbury defeated Taylah Lawless<\/strong> (NSW) 6-4 7-5 to take the win in just under two hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s match was quite tough, so it was good to get the win. Taylah is a very challenging opponent and there were a lot of ups and downs in the match,\u201d Westbury said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on and off with a lot of injuries so I haven\u2019t been able to play back-to-back matches for a long time, so to win today was really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe week has been great. The UTR format is always nice because you get a lot of matches, but it\u2019s tough on the body. It\u2019s all about recovery now and getting ready for next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s, Kelly defeated Ashwin Vijayaragavan<\/strong> (SA) 6-2 6-1 in just over one hour and 10 minutes to claim the title.<\/p>\n

Westbury and Kelly will lead the fields once again for the second UTR Pro Tennis Tour tournament commencing at 9.00 am on Monday.<\/p>\n

Westbury will be joined in the women\u2019s field by South Australian Elim Yan<\/strong> (Toorak Gardens, SA).<\/p>\n

Yan, 16, enters the tournament at a career high ITF Junior world ranking of No.239 and in good form having won the girls\u2019 singles title at the Gallipoli Youth Cup just a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n

The UTR Pro Tennis Tour events come following the successful rollout of the tour in 2020. The format features a singles only competition for men and women based on Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR), and features a player group round robin followed by a World Cup-style playoff format.<\/p>\n

What is a UTR?
\n<\/strong>Universal Tennis Rating (UTR)<\/a> is an international tennis rating system that connects millions of tennis players around the world to help them find better matches locally. UTR reflects a player\u2019s current skill level based on head-to-head match scores, and rates all players across age, gender and nationality on the same 16-point scale. Every player can have a UTR \u2013 from the pros to juniors to social tennis players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
