Backseat Banter with Ben Shelton

UTS, the brainchild of celebrated coach Patrick Mouratoglou, is an innovative, fast-paced competition, designed to showcase tennis to both historical and new audiences. UTS differs from standard tennis rules, increasing the speed of play and the way that the game is displayed to the fans.

UTS differs from standard tennis rules, increasing the speed of play and the way that the game is displayed to the fans:

- Timed matches : each match lasting between 40 and 50 minutes each
- Matches divided into 8-minute quarters, not sets
- First to win three ‘quarters’ wins
- 15-second shot clock between points
- No second serve
- Players can be coached from the bench at all times.
- Coaches mic’d up during the matches and players mic’d up during changeovers
- Fans can be as loud as they want during - and between - points, no more silence!
- Players can choose a 3-point ‘bonus’ card to use during the match, e.g., next point counts for three points
- If two quarters each, a sudden death fifth quarter - with the goal of winning two consecutive points - will be played

Ben Shelton is a thoughtful, wonderful young fella and one of the most exciting tennis players of now!

I know for a FACT the whole ATP tour is sending this video on whatsapp groups 😂😂😂

[sethcarlson]

Not the first time Ben is backseat with a snow buddy lmaoo bro got flashbacks 😭😭

HUH?! What's wrong with these comments. She wasn't all over him at all? She just seems like an active listener. Look it up if you've never seen it. And also not very awkward or cringe at all. Y'all are projecting.

[muberraozturk]

She was just asking questions like a robot in other backseat videos and now this. Yes, I watched backwards.

[LtWinters]

I've seen other videos that start in a similar manner

[TranucTV]

Shelton's so lucky when he got side by side with Mary

[saramonterob]

WHAT IS THIS? SO AWKWARD!! GIRL STOP!!!

[Peacehumankind]

She's so cute. The white fit and the blonde hair is a nice combo. The move at 1:24 was super hot too lol.

[zetristan]

Mary's a strong tennis player herself. Unusual in this gen to meet someone called Mary.

[homotechnium]

I thought this was a different type of video

[Sophia-hdqy]

bruh I can't stop cringing over this video

[Peacehumankind]

She looks like Jessica Simpson back in the day.

[Aaliyah-Z-ji]

You have to watch it in 1.3 or 2x to make it feel smooth but it still is very cringe .🤭😒🙄

[cybernetennis]

Cats is the correct answer; more personal and intelligent.

[bennyc]

Just searched the interviewer’s name and most images show her wearing bikinis.👍🏾😃🐇

[scrythis]

She's not a professional speaker. Umms all over. Her questions are written down unprepared and obviously awkwardly place.

Pretty face but not ready for this interview

She was just asking questions like a robot in other backseat videos and now this. Yes, I watched backwards.
