  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

It was then removed from the programme owing to a difference of opinion between the IOC and the International Tennis Federation. Tennis made its Olympic return as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 and has featured on the Olympic programme since the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988. KEY STAGES Entry 1894: At the Paris Congress held in June, the desire was expressed for “athletics games (football, lawn tennis, real tennis, etc.)” to feature on the Olympic programme. Withdrawal 1928: At the 27th IOC Session held in Amsterdam in July and August, the IOC Executive Board’s decision to remove tennis from the Olympic programme was approved. This decision was supported following the breakdown in negotiations between the IOC and the International Federation over the latter’s various demands (being able to apply its own definition of amateurism in particular). Return to the 1981: At the 84th IOC Session held in Baden-Baden in September and programme October, it was decided to add tennis to the programme of the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988. Mixed doubles 2009: At the IOC Executive Board meeting held in Berlin in August, the addition of mixed doubles for the Games in London in 2012 was approved.
