British No.1 Jack Draper, back to competition next December, will face Casper Ruud, Francisco Cerundolo and David Goffin in Group B at the UTS London Grand Final, the draw revealed on Thursday. The tournament, held at London’s Copper Box Arena from December 5 to 7, features eight players split into two groups.
2023 champion Draper, who is unbeaten in UTS play and won this 2023 crown title without dropping a match, will open against Goffin on December 5. He then takes on Cerundolo on December 6, followed by a late match against Ruud the same day.
Group A is led by last year’s winner Alex de Minaur, who will face Andrey Rublev, Tomas Machac and Adrian Mannarino.
The former UTS year-end champions, Draper and De Minaur, have been granted a wild-card to participate to the 2024 edition, while four former edition winners are on the field : Machac (Guadalajara 2025), Rublev (Frankfurt 2023, Oslo 2024), Ruud (Nîmes 2025) and Cerundolo (Hong Kong 2025). Only Goffin and Mannarino have never won a UTS crown.
The UTS format guarantees action-packed matches over three days, with all players competing on both Friday and Saturday before semifinals and the final on Sunday. Matches consist of four eight-minute quarters and feature strategic elements unique to the league.
