When Cristian Garin “El Tanque” heard UTS was playing on clay for the first time at UTS4, he thought “I’m in.” A machine on the dirt, he’s won all of his five ATP titles on clay and has earned some impressive wins against some of the world’s most dangerous tennis players. At the 2021 Madrid Masters 1000, he defeated fellow UTS competitor Daniil Medvedev “The Chessmaster” (ATP No. 3) to reach the quarterfinals. He is known for playing his best tennis under pressure – nothing can get past him. The fifth youngest player to win an ATP Tour match at only 16, “El Tanque” reached a career-high of World No. 18. With his muscular physique, warrior mindset, imposing hits, and heavy spin, he is a true Chilean tank, ready for war at UTS. How destructive will he be?
