Ultimate Tennis Showdown Relies on Mediapro for Production of London Grand Final

Mediapro Group has been the technical services provider for the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) tournament held in the Copper Box Arena at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London (United Kingdom). The partnership further affirms UTS’ confidence in the group, which already in 2024 produced its tournaments in New York (United States), in August, and in Frankfurt (Germany), in late October.

Through its audiovisual services division, Broadcast Media Services (BMS), Mediapro Group provided the broadcast equipment and specialist personnel for the production of all three of these sporting events, deploying a 25-strong team and a range of broadcast equipment, including a mobile unit, in order to produce the audiovisual signal for each event. Among the 15 cameras used were two slow motion cameras, two NetCams, one gimbal with an RF-mount cinema camera, and seven PTZ cameras.

The UTS is an innovative league that has modified some of the rules of traditional tennis. The matches are more fast-paced with greater interaction between players and fans. This new format demands a more dynamic approach to audiovisual production. In 2024, the competitions were available to watch on the group’s GolStadium platform.

Ultimate Tennis Showdown has chosen Mediapro Group as its partner on the strength of its extensive track record in live events, with over 20,000 productions a year. The group’s vast experience in the production of sporting events includes the America’s Cup (Barcelona, ​​2024), the European Games (Krakow, 2023), the Pan American and Parapan American Games (Chile, in 2023, and Peru, 2019) and the Mediterranean Games (Oran, 2022), among various other competitions.
