UTR kicks off All Access Series with webinars

With no tennis being played due to the coronavirus pandemic, players are still eager for ways to improve their game and stay in the sport. Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) is feeding fan desire by staying in touch with players and coaches virtually.

The new UTR Webinar All Access Series allows fans to join free webinars (via Zoom and YouTube Live) that feature current WTA and ATP pros, coaches and more. The interviews will range in topics, from how-to guides to players sharing their experiences from the tour.

The webinar series thrives off audience engagement, and allows for fans to ask questions and connect with some of the biggest names in tennis.

In the first all-access interview, Sam Querrey joined host Prakash Amritraj to talk about his journey from California kid to ATP champion.

"My parents joined a tennis and swim club down the street from my house to meet friends and families and have something to do. And that's kind of how I got into it," Querrey said.

He goes on to talk about tennis in his home state, his growing family, and his mindset these days.

In the next episode on Tuesday, Alison Riske, who had an incredible 2019 season in 2019, will discuss her own journey. Future episodes include guests like Tennys Sandgren, Nick Bollettieri, Coco Gauff's dad Corey, Shelby Rogers, Vasek Pospisil and more.
