Tomas Machac hadnā€™t played the Ultimate Tennis Showdown format prior to debuting in Guadalajara this weekend.

Yet as Sunday came to a close, he walked away as an undefeated champion after going 5-0 in the first leg of the 2025 series. A look at Machacā€™s winning moment, which earned him a ticket to Decemberā€™s UTS Grand Final.

A day earlier, Machac saved a match point during 'Sudden Death' to deny fellow UTS newcomer Flavio Cobolli.
