Love Sports Partners With Universal Tennis To Bring Universal Tennis Rating To China

All Chinese tennis players participating in events whose results are submitted to Universal Tennis by Love Sports will be able to compare themselves to players around the world via UTR Powered by Oracle's rating system, search players and track their progress. Tennis event organizers in China can run UTR Powered Events to facilitate level-based play and can post and submit results through Love Sports for inclusion in the UTR Powered by Oracle system.

Love Sports is actively involved and has been very successful in promoting the game and facilitating play in the country," said Mark Leschly, Chairman & CEO, Universal Tennis. "We are excited to work together to provide a rating system that can work in China at all levels and to provide organizers and players with tools to get rated, track their progress, promote level-based play and develop a lifelong love for the sport."
