href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/felix-auger-aliassime\">Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a> secured one of the most lucrative wins of his career on a clay court as he was crowned UTS champion in front of a huge crowd at the Ar\u00e9nes de N\u00eemes in Southern France.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian, who is currently secured a $301,000 prize and the most prestigious clay court title of his career with a sudden death victory over defending UTS Nimes champion and Casper Ruud.<\/p>\n<p>Over 21,000 people packed the iconic Roman amphitheatre over two days with 13,000 for the final day, the biggest crowd ever recorded for a UTS Tour event.<\/p>\n<p>They were treated to some thrilling tennis, thanks to UTS\u2019s unique fast-paced format and scoring system.<\/p>\n<p>Auger-Aliassime managed to eke out a tight sudden-death decider after levelling the match at two quarters each, taking the match 10-11, 14-10, 15-14, 15-11 and 2-0 and earning himself a noisy ovation which rang around the historic venue.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/patrick-mouratoglou-warns-tennis-fanbase-brands-sport-relic-past\">Patrick Mouratoglou warns tennis is

final or representing my country,\u201d\u00a0said Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian was part of a strong line-up in Nimes, including Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Grigor Dimitrov, Karen Khachanov, Andrey Rublev, Alexander Bublik and Ugo Humbert.<\/p>\n<p>Auger-Aliassime and Ruud could be on course for a rematch at next week\u2019s Monte-Carlo Masters, as the duo are in the same section of the draw and could both be quarter-final opponents for world No 2 Jannik Sinner in the first ATP 1000 event of the season on clay courts.<\/p>\n<p>The UTS event is the brainchild of coaching guru <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/patrick-mouratogolou-interview-depression-coach\">Patrick Mouratoglou<\/a>, who told Tennis365 that the concept is designed to bring a new audience to tennis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more we grow, the more attractive we are to players, and we are thankful to the ones who have believed from the start and who have been present almost every event, but yes, there are two or three names which we would love to have.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFans can love classical tennis and they can also love UTS. The goal of UTS is mostly to bring new fans to tennis and younger fans, but of course, any tennis fan is more than welcome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

You know, in every single field in the world, there is competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone plays UTS, a player, he loves it, he thinks it improves his game because it\u2019s played differently and it pushes them to also develop other things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think everybody\u2019s winning there and again, I don\u2019t see any problem with competition. I think if in the world, if there was, there would be no competition, it would be a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/uts-tour-tennis-embrace-change\">Patrick Mouratoglou\u2019s UTS Tour shows why tennis needs to embrace change<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felix Auger-Aliassime claims stunning prize money windfall after big clay court win Kevin Palmer 05 Apr 2026 2:00 PM Felix Auger-Aliassime won the UTS Nimes event Felix Auger-Aliassime secured one of the most lucrative wins of his career on a clay court as he was crowned UTS champion in front of a huge crowd at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1866840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1866840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1866840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1866840\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1866840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1866840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1866840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
