Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share some amazing news with you all about the upcoming ATP Finals, which will be televised by Tennis Channel from November 10th to 17th.
Tennis Channel’s Coverage
Tennis Channel has got you covered for all the action-packed moments at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy. The coverage will kick off on Sunday, November 10th, at 5:30 a.m. ET, live from Turin. This annual tournament brings together the top-eight singles players and doubles teams of the 2024 season for a round-robin contest between the sport’s biggest stars.
Star-Studded Lineup
This year’s lineup includes World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy and Carlos Alcaraz, who have divided the four major singles titles between them. American Taylor Fritz, who reached the final at the US Open for the first time, is also part of this elite group. The event will feature intense competition as these top players battle it out for the championship title.
No Djokovic This Year
However, there’s a twist this year as defending champion Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the tournament and will not defend his title. The ATP Finals organize the eight singles players into two pools of four, with each competing against the others in their group. The top two players in each pool advance to a single-elimination semifinal round, with winners facing off in the championship match.
Singles and Doubles Action
Singles and doubles round-robin action takes place from November 10-15th, typically starting at 5:30 a.m. ET. Semifinals are set for Saturday, November 16th, beginning at 6 a.m. ET. The championship matches close out the men’s ATP Tour season on Sunday, November 17th, with the doubles final at 9 a.m. ET and singles at 12 p.m. ET.
On-Air Talent
Hall of Famers Jim Courier and Andy Roddick will provide analysis during Tennis Channel’s coverage of the 2024 ATP Finals. Paul Annacone, who earned a spot in the competition in 1985 and is known for his success as a coach of all-time greats Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, will offer match commentary again this year. He will work with Emmy Award-winning announcer Brett Haber and longtime Tennis Channel host Steve Weissman.
On-Site Interviews
The Tennis Channel desk in Turin will feature former player Prakash Amritraj and host Dani Klupenger, who have been circling the globe and bringing tennis’ many personalities to light. They will connect with this year’s ATP Finals stars through on-site interviews and special segments throughout the tournament.
Why You Should Watch
This event is not just about watching some of the world’s best tennis players in action; it’s about witnessing history being made. The ATP Finals are one of the most prestigious tournaments of the year, and it’s exciting to see who will emerge victorious.
