We have already shown the Australian Open from Melbourne and will broadcast the entire ATP Masters 1000 Series, which attracts the top men in the game and takes in great locations from Asia, Europe and North America, culminating in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at London’s O2 Arena in November.”

Steve Plasto, CEO, ATP Media, said: “I am pleased to open up a new distribution channel for the ATP Masters and Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.  Sport 24 presents a fantastic opportunity for fans to access the world’s best tennis on their travels.”
