Universal Tennis Rating CEO Mark Leschly

Host Jon Wertheim talks with Leschly, a successful college tennis player at Harvard, a former ATP pro and member of the Danish Davis Cup team, about his new role as the principal owner of Universal Tennis Rating, which is an algorithm-based rating system between 1-16 that reflects level of play, based on competition, scores and recent matches. Leschly explains in detail what the ranking system is exactly, how it impacts professional, college and recreational players and coaches, how it relates to handicaps in golf, how it compares to the WTA and ATP rankings and points system and more. Wertheim and Leschly also discuss the new Universal Tennis partnership with Tennis Channel, which will make UTR an integrated part of on-air broadcasts throughout 2018.
