How can you watch ATP Kitzbuhel?

Next week, the 80th edition of the Austrian Open will take place again, with defending champion Sebastian Baez as the top seed.

Baez is one of two former singles winners at Kitzbühel this year, along with 2019 champion Dominic Thiem.

Thiem has announced his retirement later this year due to a wrist injury, giving the 30-year-old a chance to say goodbye to the Austrian fans at a tournament he has such fond memories of.

Some of the other top-ranked players in Kitzbuhel include Alejandro Tabilo, Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Pedro Martinez, Sebastian Ofner and Bastad champion Nuno Borges.

Matteo Berrettini claimed his ninth clay court title this week on the clay of Gstaad and the Italian will also enter the draw in Kitzbühel as a dangerous, unseeded player.

You can watch the Austrian Open on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, Tennis Channel in the US or on Tennis TV worldwide.

How can you watch ATP Atlanta?

Much attention is being paid to the clay-court tournament this year after Wimbledon because of the Olympic Games in Paris, but not everyone has chosen to participate in the Games.

The ATP hard court tournament in Atlanta comes in handy here, as players can practice for the US Open.

The Atlanta event started in 2010 and since then the singles tournaments have only been won by American or Australian players.

Despite this, no former champions are included in the draw, but there are two former finalists: Aleksandar Vukic and Brandon Nakashima.

The top four players in Atlanta this year are Ben Shelton, Adrian Mannarino, Frances Tiafoe and Jordan Thompson, all of whom have byes into the second round.

Reilly Opelka also continues his comeback, having reached the semi-finals on the Newport grass field after a long absence.

You can watch the Atlanta Open on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, Tennis Channel in the US or on Tennis TV worldwide.

How can you watch WTA Prague?

For the past three years, the WTA event in Prague has been held on hard courts, but in 2024 the event in the Czech capital will return to clay.

Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova was originally scheduled to compete in singles, but she has now decided to play only doubles in order to reunite with her former partner Katerina Siniakova ahead of the Paris Olympics.

Siniakova is the second-seeded player in the singles, with her compatriot and 2023 number two Linda Noskova as the leader.

The only former singles champion to actually qualify: 34-year-old Mona Barthel returned to the event she won in 2017.

There was another surprise in qualifying: Lucie Safarova, a former champion, but the Czech will have to settle for just a double after her first-round loss.

You can watch the Prague Open on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland or on Tennis Channel in the US.

How can you watch ATP Umag?

In Umag, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have won the title in recent years, but neither of them has played an Olympic warm-up yet due to the busy grass schedule.

The top seed this year is 2017 champion Andrey Rublev. He is currently on a four-match losing streak after being defeated by world number 121 Thiago Agustin Tirante in Bastad last week.

Rublev is joined by Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune and Francisco Cerundolo, meaning all four top-ranked players automatically advance to the second round.

Alexei Popyrin won his first ATP clay court title this year in Umag and the Australian is joined by two other former winners: Fabio Fognini and Dusan Lajovic.

You can watch the Croatia Open on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, Tennis Channel in the US or on Tennis TV worldwide.

How can you watch WTA Iasi?

This week, a new event is taking place in Iasi, Romania, at the WTA main draw. Previously, it was a WTA 125 tournament.

In the only two previous editions of the women’s tournament, it was home favourite Ana Bogdan who took the title, but the Romanian has withdrawn from this year’s tournament, meaning there will be a new champion.

The number one seed in 2024 is Mirra Andreeva. The 17-year-old will make her Olympic debut, with Tatjana Maria as the second seed.

Despite Bogdan’s withdrawal, there are still several Romanian candidates, including Jaqueline Cristian, Irina-Camelia Begu and Elena-Gabriela Ruse.

After reaching the final in Budapest, Aliaksandra Sasnovich has become a rare entrant to receive a bye, meaning she is already assured of a place in the second round.

You can watch the Iasi Open on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland or on Tennis Channel in the US.
