Twelve-you UTR Pro Tennis Tour champion Kaylah McPhee can hardly believe how far she has come in recent years. Years ago she seemed ready for her breakthrough on the Australian Open 2020 Australian Open.
But shoulder problems followed. Months of rehabilitation and side persistent. She doubted if she would compete professionally again.
But now Mcphee (UTR -Review 10.13) Is again healthy and plays some of the best tennis in her career. The Aussie is number 1 in the UTR PTT Tour Card Points Race And while competing in the unique format that is offered all over the world on the UTR PTT.

Thousands of players similar to McPhee Worldwide are attracted by the UTR PTT. Whether they compete with college -tennis, just starting their professional career, returning an injury or being only looking for extra matchplay and a way to earn considerable prize money, the UTTT attracts all types of rising pro tennis players.
The biggest Districts of the Tour – the guaranteed prize money and matchplay – are extremely popular everywhere for players, including McPhee.
“What I really like about the PTTs is just the structure. You know your schedule the week before, so that you can base your training around there. And for people like I have those other obligations, I work part-time, it enables me to plan my week and build a bit of a plan,” said McPhee, which also works in SEO content marketing.
“Guaranteed competitions is unreal. You can build trust, work on certain things … and of course, financially, the PTT is really worth it.”
It was especially worthwhile for McPhee, who recently won her 10th UTR PTT title of the season. The title, which extended her UTR PTT -Winning series to 62, catapulted her to the top of the competitive Points Race. McPhee has 28,800 points, just before Veronika Miroshnichenko (25,875), who led the Women’s Points Race for the first 28 weeks of the season.
But players do not have to be at the top to earn extra money through the UTR PTT tour card. All players who compete in at least two tournaments earn $ 500 from free Power subscription analyzes and equipment. Players who play in four events can earn $ 750 extra. And players who end in the top 100 of the points race at the end of the year can receive a payment of a maximum of $ 10,000.
“The thing that I really like about the tour card is just the stimulans to keep competing. Getting that $ 750 bonus after my fourth event was so great. It is really rare in tennis to be rewarded, only before appearing and performing,” said McPhee. “I really love the annual points race. It just keeps me motivated and is something to work towards.”
This year, nine out of 10 titles of McPhee came to home, so that she can save on travel costs and another example of the global accessibility of the UTR PTT. In 2025 alone, more than 450 events will be played in 30-plus countries.

Not long ago, McPhee played great tennis in the same way. She cracked the WTA Top 200 in 2019. But when she competed in the Australian open qualification stretch of 2020, she could no longer play what was extensive shoulder pain.
“I could hardly move my arm for the matches,” she said.
In the next two years she would undergo surgery to repair her right shoulder lab and another operation to help stabilize it. During the rehabilitation and training, McPhee tennis coached at schools in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast.
She coached a series of students, from those who participated in color ball tennis to players in high school. All the time, McPhee wanted to add to the best of the best on the field and play points. “It was a bit difficult to look at,” she said.
She returned to the competition in June 2022 and found her way to the UTR PTT at the end of 2023 at the insistence of a friend, Tenika McGiffin. McPhee won both UTR PTT events that she played in 2023, including the $ 25k in Melbourne in December.
The following month on the WTA $ 125K in Canberra, McPhee felt match Tough from her UTR PTT experience and placed some of the biggest victories of her career, including two top 150 victories.
“I played the PTT and I won it. And at that moment people questioned the decision, whether I should play matches for money, or whether I should have just trained to get better. But I made the decision that I thought was good for me,” said McPhee.
“Those matches that I played on that PTT prepared me to play in a WTA tournament, because I hadn’t had that big gap not to play.”
Now she regularly competes at the UTR PTT, and the prize money, as well as valuable experience gained by Matchplay, stays her way.
“I actually went pretty well and probably have the most confidence that I have had in my tennis in a long time. So that will keep me back,” she said.
