Discovery Networks Asia Pacific's DSPORT on Tuesday became the first Indian sports channel to acquire the rights for Tie Break Tens, a new format of tennis.
Tie Break Tens is a relatively new, fast-format of tennis which involves both men and women competing for the tournament prize money of $200,000.
This quick-fire version sees some of the best and top-ranked professional tennis players in the world, including Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, Grigor Dimitrov, Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, Eugenie Bouchard, Jo Konta, Simona Halep and Garbiñe Muguruza, to name a few, compete in a round-robin-style tournament.
