TENNIS ON TV FULL SCHEDULE OF MATCHES FROM THE BARCLAYS ATP FINALS IN LONDON  |

NEW NUMBER ONE MURRAY, DJOKOVIC TO BATTLE FOR

TOP RANKING AT SEASON-ENDING CHAMPIONSHIPS ON TENNIS CHANNEL

 

Eight-Day Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Coverage begins Sunday, Nov. 13

Live Matches Daily, Nightly Primetime Encores on Schedule as Network Devotes 180 hours to Competition between Top-Eight Singles Players and Doubles Teams of 2016

 

As new No. 1 Andy Murray and fellow multi-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic – now out of the top spot for the first time in more than two years – take the race for year-end No. 1 into the final event of the season, Tennis Channel will be the television home of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals again in 2016. Live from London throughout the eight-day event, the network’s coverage gets underway with the first match of the tournament Sunday, Nov. 13, at 7 a.m. ET. While the top-eight singles players and doubles teams of 2016 gather to determine this year’s champions at the most exclusive event in the sport, Tennis Channel will offer close to 55 live hours of play and more than 180 overall with nightly encore telecasts.

 

Tennis Channel’s live coverage gets underway most mornings at 7 a.m. ET with back-to-back doubles and singles matches, followed by a second block of doubles and singles competition at 1 p.m. ET (a complete schedule is below). Live analysis at 5 p.m. ET leads into complete encore coverage of the day’s four matches, which run throughout the night up to the start of the following morning’s live play.

 

The network’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on-air team will feature former players Paul Annacone (@paul_annacone), and Jimmy Arias (@ariastennis). Annacone is perhaps best known as the majors-winning coach of both Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, two of the game’s all-time legends, He and Arias are both longtime personalities on air and within the tennis community. Annacone and Arias each competed in the year-end championships during their playing careers.

 

There is no more exclusive event in men’s tennis than the Barclay’s ATP World Tour Finals. Only the top-eight singles and doubles points earners of 2016 qualify for the competition, which is held in London’s O2 Arena and annually features one of the most frenzied stadium atmospheres in the entire sport. Singles players and doubles teams are each divided into two pools of four, and play three matches each against the others in their group. The top two in each division qualify as semifinalists for two days of single-elimination play to determine 2016’s singles and doubles champions. The format ensures multiple matches between contenders who could just as likely face off in the semifinals or finals at tennis’ four majors.

 

Both Murray and Djokovic have the opportunity to end 2016 with the sport’s No. 1 singles ranking based on their play in London. The singles field offers a highlight reel of other stars as well, with Stan Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, Gael Monfils, Marin Cilic and Dominic Thiem. Doubles is just as strong, as American twins Bob and Mike Bryan chase their fifth championship within a field that features Jamie Murray-Bruno Soares, Pierre-Hugues Herbert-Nicolas Mahut, Feliciano Lopez-Marc Lopez, Ivan Dodig-Marcelo Melo, Raven Klaasen-Rajeev Ram, Henri Kontinen-John Peers and Treat Huey-Max Mirnyi.
