Players receive exposure to competition using a level based approach. Players will be grouped based on their UTR level. The objective of this event is to prepare to be a champion, and not merely a participant in tournaments. Players will have ample opportunities to execute the vision of their game. NRG open events are designed for players to prepare to win at the highest level of tennis.
“ Close, competitive contests are widely recognized by coaches as the most powerful engine for developing tennis skill. Even matches benefit both players. Non-competitive, one-sided matches, in contrast, typically discourage the loser and fail to challenge the winner, offering neither one much opportunity to improve his or her skills.”
“Champions keep playing until they get it right.”

Players receive exposure to competition using a staggered entry draw format. Stronger Players based on their UTR rating will be placed into the final rounds. Lower UTR level players will first compete in the early and middle rounds. The champion of the early rounds will receive a wild card into the middle rounds. The champion of the middle rounds will receive a wildcard into the final rounds. This design enables this event to embrace a wide range of skill levels, from club players up to touring professionals. This ensures a high probability of even matches for entrants of all levels.
