Monfils, Paire, Mouratoglou : All on the Table, UTS Talk Show, Episode 2

UTS Tour is proud to introduce you to the second edition of the talkshow "All on the table", with Gael Monfils (la Monf), Benoît Paire (the Rebel) and Patrick Mouratoglou, UTS founder, who was happy to guest them at Los Angeles in July 2023 (where the video was shot) and who are part of the field for UTS Frankfurt (September 15-17).


The champion mentality - what it takes to win a Grand Slam - what makes a great tennis career. Nothing is off limits as three Frenchmen serve up the truth in this episode. Gael Monfils, Benoit Paire and Patrick Mouratoglou discuss the challenges of life at the very top of tennis and some of the sport's hottest talking points in a frank and funny conversation.


Monfils speculates about his future retirement and how his life has changed since the birth of daughter Skai with wife Elina Svitolina, Paire is painfully honest about his struggles on tour, and coach Mouratoglou talks about how he fell in love with the sport that's become his life.
