Great news for us tennis fans, Rogers Sportsnet has picked up rights to ATP tennis this season. Still not a lot known about the deal, but it looks like it will coverage 500-series events and the Masters Series. I think TSN/CBC still have the Rogers Cup, but I'm not sure at this point.
First event will be a 500-series event from Memphis, Tennessee beginning Thursday, February 17. They will also have events from Dubai and Mexico this month. All coverage appears to be on Sportsnet One. I am still awaiting confirmation on all of this, but I will post again once I have it.
TSN's contract with Roland Garros is also up this season. After this announcement I'd almost be shocked to see TSN re-sign for another year. I expect Sportsnet will/has picked up Roland Garros too. That is just speculation though.
Sorry that I can't really provide anything concrete at this point. As I said, as soon as I know more I'll post. It should be great to see the top tennis players week in, week out, instead of just the Masters Series and Grand Slams.
