The second edition of Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) took place between July 30 and August 2, 2020.
Here, 11 players competed. In the group stage, 8 players were placed in two groups of 4 (one was replaced midway through the tournament), where only the top players of each could qualify from each to reach the Final 4 where "The Lion" Alexander Zverev and "The Panther" Félix Auger-Aliassime had already qualified. "The Hammer" Matteo Berrettini was the defending champion in the men's tournament, but chose not to participate. Zverev won the event, defeating Auger-Aliassime in the final 19–10, 11–13, 10–18, 18–8, 3–1.[1]
