Match Tennis App (MTA), a leading platform for competitive tennis management, is thrilled to partner with UTR Sports. This collaboration leverages UTR Sports’ new Engage API to enhance the player experience and further grow the brand initiatives.
The partnership will enable Match Tennis parents and their players to connect with their UTR Sports account and take their rating with them into the Match Tennis app experience. By prominently placing UTR ratings and tournament information in the core areas of Match Tennis, parents, tournament players and entry-level players will gain increased exposure to the UTR Rating and event ecosystem.
In addition, they will enjoy the benefits of better quality rating information on their opponents. This will facilitate seamless player engagement and growth. As Match Tennis releases their pickleball app, the Engage API will drive similar connection and UTR Pickleball Rating integration as well.
“This partnership will truly transform the player experience for all tennis and pickleball players using Match Tennis,” said Mark Leschly, CEO and Chairman of UTR Sports. “With our years of experience in tennis and our strong partnerships already in pickleball, we’re primed and excited to elevate the player experience for all Match Tennis users.”
“With a shared mission to connect and grow the sport of tennis through technological innovations, Match Tennis App is thrilled to partner with UTR Sports," said Heath Waters, COO of Match Tennis App. "Ultimately, it's about the participants, and through this partnership, both the sport of tennis and its participants win!"
