ESPN Secure World TeamTennis Rights in Four Year Deal

ESPN will broadcast the World TeamTennis (WTT) competition after a four-year deal was agreed.

The finals of the US-based event will be broadcast on ESPN2, therapy with a total of 60 hours of programming a year through their online, on-demand service ESPN3.

ESPN3 will also live stream a match from each night of the tournament, which will increase the WTT’s digital presence in its 39^th year, something Chief Executive and Commissioner Ilana Kloss was eager to point out.

Kloss said: “Access is a cornerstone of our league and this partnership gives us a broader platform to showcase the best in professional team tennis competition and to introduce more fans to our brand.”

The WTT season starts on July 7 and features former US Open champion Andy Roddick and 2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli.
