Draw revealed: Tsitsipas completes field at UTS New York

The first ever UTS New York event has finalised its line-up, with Stefanos “El Greco” Tsitsipas returning to action.

And on court there will be fireworks as Nick Kyrgios, “King Kyrgios”, was drawn to play Casper Ruud, “The Ice Man”, in quarter-final action on day one at the iconic Forest Hills.

Held on the eve of the US Open, Kyrgios returns to the Tour after more than a year out through injury, taking on No 4 seed Bublik for a place in the semi-finals of the two-day event, to be held on August 22 and 23.

Three of the world’s top 10 will be in action as the players hone their games for the US Open in the unique, fast-paced format, played out over four quarters of eight minutes each.

• UTS Oslo champion Andrey Rublev, “Rublo”, faces Gael “La Monf” Monfils, Tsitsipas takes on Alexander “The Bublik Enemy” Bublik, while top seed Alex de Minaur, “The Demon”, is due to play Denis “Shapo” Shapovalov.

Since it has adapted a Tour formula last year, this will be the first UTS event to have a knockout format. Each player is guaranteed at least two matches; the quarter-finals will be played on August 22, with the semi-finals, finals and classification to be played on August 23.

Forest Hills is one of the most iconic venues in tennis history, having staged the US Open for more than 60 years until its move to Flushing Meadows in 1978.

New York will be the second UTS event in 2024, following on from Oslo in February, with Frankfurt to come in October. The winners of each event qualify directly for the season-ending UTS Grand Final in London in December.

Rublev heads the 2024 UTS race rankings after winning in Oslo. The Russian is automatically qualified for London.
