Since 2012 the site has also been a specialist database contributor to the ATP media guide.

The site has worked reported live from almost every well-known tennis event in the world, including over 100 grand slam tournaments. Ubitennis is also one of the very few tennis sites in that world that provides comprehensive tennis coverage in Italian, English and Spanish.
