INTRODUCTION

For the first time, ATP Media is delighted to be able to offer 14 ATP World Tour 250 tournaments in its media rights package. These events, as with the Masters 1000 and 500 events, take place in some of the most glamorous locations in the world whilst showcasing men’s professional tennis. The 250 events included in the package (except one!) take place during weeks where there is no Masters 1000 or 500 tournament making it a perfect complementary rights package. This allows our broadcast partners to have almost year round coverage of live tennis events which almost no other global sport is able to offer. As always, these events will be brought to you using the highest quality high definition production and delivery. We are very excited to be able to bring these events to you, appreciate your interest, and look forward to the possibility of working with you as a broadcast partner of the ATP World Tour 250s.
