Gold Coast, Australia – Former Wimbledon champion and Australian icon, Pat Cash, has announced a strategic partnership with Australian sports surface manufacturer Urban Turf Solutions (UTS) to launch the Pat Cash Signature Surface. The new range of premium artificial turf tennis courts has been developed through direct collaboration between Cash and the UTS team.
This partnership goes beyond a traditional endorsement, as Cash has been actively involved in the development, testing, and refinement of the product. Drawing on his decades of experience at the highest level of the game, Cash has worked closely with UTS to create a surface that delivers tournament-grade performance while meeting the practical demands of modern facilities.
The Pat Cash Signature Surface will be available in three tiers – Luxe, Elite, and Club – providing options for various settings such as private courts, tennis clubs, academies, schools, and resorts. Each tier is designed to meet recognized performance standards while offering durability, lower maintenance requirements, and water efficiencies similar to modern synthetic surfaces. The design of the Signature Surface has been inspired by Cash’s iconic chequered headband, incorporating unique elements that celebrate one of the sport’s most enduring trademarks.
Cash personally played on and evaluated the surface throughout its development, providing valuable feedback on playability, ball response, pace, and overall court performance.
“This partnership is not just about putting my name on a product,” said Pat Cash. “I wanted to be involved in creating a surface that truly meets the needs of players. I have spent time on the surface, tested it, discussed the details with the team, and helped shape the final result. Our goal was simple – to create a court that delivers a great playing experience for competitive players, club members, and anyone who loves the game.”
The launch of the Pat Cash Signature Surface marks UTS’s expansion beyond being solely a surface supplier. The company aims to build a stronger consumer-facing tennis brand.
Blair Slade-Jones, Managing Director of Urban Turf Solutions, stated, “Pat’s involvement has been authentic and enthusiastic from the very beginning. He has spent time with our team, visited our facilities, played on the surface, and challenged us on what makes a great tennis court. This level of engagement sets this partnership apart. We have not just attached a name to an existing product, but together we have developed a surface that reflects Pat’s understanding of the game and our expertise in surface technology.”
The initial launch of the Pat Cash Signature Surface will be in Australia and New Zealand, with plans to introduce it into the UK and other selected international markets in the future.
The announcement coincides with Wimbledon fortnight, where Cash’s legacy remains deeply ingrained in tennis history. This year marks the 40th anniversary of his iconic 1987 Wimbledon Championship victory.
