I couldn't recall any women's winners this year but looking back through the thread Indi won in the same place back in April followed the following week by Eliz in Loughborough. The men are more willing to play UTRs than the women seem to be and we have had a few men's winners this year. I've recorded most in this thread but not all. Men's winners include Max Basing, Jamie Connell, Roan Jones, Derrick Chen (twice) and James Story.
The UTR site is pretty limited in what you can see if you're not registered. But as the only way to register is as a player with personal and contact details I'm not prepared to give them I refuse to sign up.
Next week sees the first week of Tennis Scotland's foray into UTR Pro-Tennis Tour events with an event in Stirling. The men's event has many players I would expect to be there. The women's event is very disappointing

I wonder with the UTR having several events every week and British players being involved pretty much every week whether its worth starting a new UTR 2026 thread?

Why not? We have a British tour one, a wheelchair tour one. Makes sense to me .
Looking back, I created this thread in 2017 - utterly unbelievable !
But UTR events weren't such a big thing back then, it was a bit of a 'odds-and-sods' sort of thread, and came and went, getting attention when nothing else is going on or a particular high-profile name is playing
I think it would be great to have a yearly thread - UTR 2026, UTR 2027, like British Tour, for all UTR stuff that is (even faintly) British connected
