While Parma and Belgrade are still fighting for ATP points this week and the battle for places in the main field of the second major of the year has begun in Roland Garros, eight players in Patrick Mouratoglou's academy are quickly facing the fourth edition of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown. Above all Daniil Medvedev, who has still not made friends with the Ashes, but was able to defeat Fabio Fognini on the first of two days of the competition.
Medvedev then lost his second appearance at the exhibition tournament, which is held according to special rules - it is played in four quarters of ten minutes each, and, unusual for Sand, without double lines - Medvedev then lost to Corentin Moutet. And after the Frenchman was also able to win his opening match against Taylor Fritz, Moutet goes into today's Tuesday as group B leader.

In Group A, Cristian Garin and Diego Schwartzman have a perfect record of 2-0 successes. And now make the group victory among themselves in a direct duel. Alexander Bublik and Grigor Dimitrov already have no chance in this regard.
The final phase of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown will be broadcast live by Eurosport. It starts at 3 p.m. Serena Williams and Cori Gauff were also spotted as spectators live on site. The two Americans are preparing for the French Open at the Mouratoglou Academy.
