The Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) London 2025 is set to come to its conclusion on Sunday, December 7.

In the second group, former World No. 2 Casper Ruud and Ugo Humbert reached the semis. The final is also slated to be played on the same day.

The final day of action at the event is scheduled to begin from 2:30 PM local time, with Ugo Humbert and Alex de Minaur's clash set to be the first of the two semifinals, with the second last-four encounter between Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud slated to follow shortly after. Following a brief break, the winning semifinalists will lock horns for the title.

"That big check at the end of the week, it motivates everyone" - Alex de Minaur on players' desire to win UTS titles

The UTS brand has carved quite a name for itself since being founded by Patrick Mouratoglou in 2020. A big reason for this is the event's format, which is a far cry from the lengthy nature of professional tennis. Mouratoglou himself has, in the past, claimed that the tournament is an attempt from his end to make things more exciting and draw younger audiences to the sport.

Alex de Minaur, one of the four semifinalists at this year's London edition of the event, laid bare his excitement at the way the tournament compels players to play points much differently compared to traditional tennis matches.

"It's exciting and different, it gives you a different perspective on how to play points. The tournaments are well-paid, which makes them very competitive. We all try to win that big check at the end of the week, it motivates everyone," de Minaur said in the buildup to last year's London edition of the event.

In the final of last year's edition of the London tournament, it was de Minaur who reigned supreme after getting past Holger Rune (The Viking) in a tightly-contested final.
