With a hearty smile, Serena responded, “It is, its!!”.
The Ultimate Tennis Showdown is looking to change the way the sport is being played by introducing several new rules making the matches short. The tournament made its debut last year with two editions.
With top-class players like Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Dustin Brown, the first edition proved to be a success among viewers even though many felt that it might take a while to get used to the new rules.
