Tennis is back for 2024 and you can watch over 80 tournaments live on Sky Sports from the ATP and WTA Tours throughout the year.

When is the 2024 tennis season?

There are very few weeks in the year without a tennis tournament going on as the new season actually begins on December 29, 2023 with the United Cup, with the Brisbane International and Auckland Classic also kicking off the men's and women's season at the end of December.

For the women, the Billie Jean King Cup finals will bring the season to an end on the week beginning November 11, as the WTA Finals take place the week before on November 4.

How can I watch tennis in 2024?

In the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Sky Sports will show WTA and ATP 250, 500 and 1000 events (excluding domestic UK events), plus the US Open as part of a new five-year deal.

ATP 2024 Calendar

That means more than 80 tournaments and 4,000 matches - including both season-ending finals - will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Fans will also be able to watch both Tours on NOW and follow extensive coverage of their favourite players across Sky Sports' digital and social platforms.

What are the WTA and ATP Masters tournaments?

Outside of the Grand Slams, the most important reoccurring tournaments across the year are the Masters events.

There are nine on the ATP Tour and 10 on the WTA Tour and the champion is awarded 1000 ranking points. You can watch every WTA and ATP 1000 event live on Sky Sports, plus the season-ending finals from each tour.

What are the WTA and ATP 250 and 500 events?

So what about the other tennis tournaments during the year? These are WTA or ATP 250 and 500 events.

The Brisbane International for example is one of the most significant WTA and ATP 500 competitions at the start of January or the men's Barcelona Open in mid-April.

There are 500 ranking points awarded to the champion of an WTA or ATP 500 event and 250 points for a 250 event.

How does the ranking system work?

This is a little complicated but the basics are tennis rankings can change week to week. A player's performance over the previous 12 months decides their ranking with your best 19 events, if you have played that many, counting towards the current ranking points total.

On the WTA tour, the cap is 16 events for the women's singles and 11 for women's doubles.

When is the Australian Open

The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the year and takes place from January 15 to January 29. The event will start on a Sunday for the first time in a bid to alleviate the pressure on late night finishes.

When is the French Open

The French Open is the only clay court major of the year and starts on May 20 and ends on June 9.

When is Wimbledon

Seen as the most prestigious tournament of the season, Wimbledon in 2024 will be on July 1 to July 14 from the All England Club.

When is the US Open

The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is the US Open in New York on August 26 to September 4.

Is tennis in the Olympics?

Yes, tennis is in the Olympic Games. In 2024, the first half of the Paris Olympics, which runs from July 26 to August 11, will see five tennis competitions with the men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.

• Men's singles defending champion: Alexander Zverev (Germany)
• Women's singles defending champion: Belinda Bencic (Switzerland)
• Men's doubles defending champions: Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic (Croatia)
• Women's doubles defending champions: Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova (Czech Republic)
• Mixed doubles defending champions: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Andrey Rublev (Russian Olympic Committee)

Is Roger Federer still playing?

Roger Federer retired in September 2022 after a final doubles match alongside Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup.

Federer won 20 Grand Slams, including a record eight Wimbledon titles, and is widely regarded as a tennis legend.

He still makes some appearances as a fan at some events but he definitely won't be making a competitive comeback.

Is Serena Williams retired?

In the same year, Serena Williams retired from tennis after the US Open. Williams won 23 singles majors, the most in the Open Era.

Her sister, Venus Williams, is still competing and is planning to get back onto the WTA Tour in March 2024 after losing in the first round of Wimbledon and the US Open.

Will Rafael Nadal retire at the end of 2024?

Rafael Nadal hasn't played since January 2023 after sustaining a hip flexor injury at the Australian Open. Later that year, he said 2024 will "probably be my last year in the professional tour".

Nadal will return in the New Year at the Brisbane International (December 31 to January 7) - live on Sky Sports. After that he will head to Melbourne for the Australian Open before building-up for what could be his last French Open, where he has lifted the title a record 14 times.

When will Naomi Osaka return?

Another big name coming back in Brisbane is Naomi Osaka, who missed the 2023 season after giving birth to her daughter Shai in July.

Osaka has won two Australian Open and two US Open titles and became the first Asian to hold the world No 1 spot in 2019.

What British tennis players should you look out for?

On the women's side, Katie Boulter is the British No 1 and goes into 2024 off the back of a breakthrough year.

Boulter won her first WTA title by becoming champion at the Nottingham Open and had a spell in the world's top 50.

Emma Raducanu is hoping to bounce back after eight months out following multiple surgeries. She will make her return at the Auckland Classic at the start of January - live on Sky Sports.

Other names to look out for in the women's singles include Jodie Burrage, Harriett Dart, Heather Watson and Yuriko Miyazaki. A name for the future is Hannah Klugman.

On the men's side, Cameron Norrie is Britain's highest ranked player as world No 18 after a strong start to his 2023 campaign which included beating Carlos Sainz in the Rio Open final.

Dan Evans is ranked 38th and Andy Murray continues his remarkable career at the age of 36, showing no signs of slowing down yet.

Jack Draper is only 21 years old and reached the second week of the US Open in 2023 in just his second appearance at Flushing Meadows.

In wheelchair tennis, Alfie Hewett is the world No 1 men's player after a phenomenal 2023 which included winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open.

His doubles partner is Gordon Reid, who he has won 18 Grand Slam titles with. The pair won every major in 2021.

Lucy Shuker is the highest ranker women's wheelchair player as world No 12 following the retirement of Jordanne Whiley.

What is the fastest serve in tennis?

Great question! In a challenger event, Sam Groth had a serve of 163.4mph in 2012 which is deemed to be the fastest serve in a competitive tournament.

On the ATP tour, American John Isner served the ball at 157.2mph during the 2016 Davis Cup. Germany's Sabine Lisicki holds the record for the fastest serve on the WTA tour at 131mph, set in 2014.

Longest rally in tennis

There is no video footage of this sadly, or maybe not sadly, but the 1984 Central Fidelity Banks International in Virginia featured a 29-minute, 643-shot rally, between Vicki Nelson and Jean Hepner. Anything over 30 shots is very long so 643 is quite something.

As for the longest match in tennis, that award goes to John Isner's 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68 victory over Nicolas Mahut in the first round of Wimbledon in 2010. The match lasted 11 hours and five minutes over three days.

How do tie-breaks work in tennis?

That brings us nicely onto tie-breaks because that match will never be bettered in terms of length because in those days you could only win the match in a deciding set at a major if you were two games ahead.

However, Grand Slams now have a deciding set tie-break rule where the first player to 10 points wins the match.

A tie-break happens at 6-6 in any set with the first to seven points, while two points or more ahead, winning the tie-break. However, in a deciding set, it's first to 10 points.

ATP Tour: The Top Rivalries for 2024

We spoke about the WTA rivalries last week, but surely there are also many ones to follow on the ATP tour. Generally, the men’s circuit is very competitive right now, not only for the top spot. But it also seems as if the players are a bit more consistent, giving rivalries that chance to grow and intensify.

One thing before we start – I will keep Novak Djokovic out of these rivalries. The reason? I think you need to be at most of the tournaments to have a rivalry this year. And while Novak surely remains the guy to beat, I think he only cares about Slams and Olympics in 2024, which doesn’t quite fare well with this. So, for now, we will keep him out of this.

The battle for the next No. 1

The most obvious rivalry for years to come might be the one that everyone has their eyes one – Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz battling out for the next World No. 1 . Of course, the G.O.A.T. is still there, but even if he seems the healthiest of the Big 3, we don’t expect him to defy ageing forever. 

The two candidates for the heir to the throne seem cut out – on the one hand the Spanish phenomenon Alcaraz, on the other hand the slowly but surely ever-improving Sinner . It seemed at first like the top spot would be for the Spaniard to lose, but ever since Wimbledon 2023, the Italian seems like the frontrunner in this contest. And they will surely meet in many more finals and big games to come.

Of course, Carlos Alcaraz burst on the scene like a torpedo back in 2021. First title in Umag, first Masters titles in Miami in Madrid a year later and two Slams right after that. His versatile game, his physical presence and his incredible power made him a force to be respected on every surface through the year. He repeatedly beat Novak, Rafa on clay and not too little experts thought that even the big numbers of the Big Three might be in danger.

But the big problem in the past months has been his injury prone body. Maybe it is the early start of his career, his intense playing style or just bad luck – but his injury record is piling up and his effectively kept him from dominating.

Or was it also somebody else? Jannik Sinner has long been regarded as a promising talent but stood in the shade of his friend and rival. Until at the end of 2023, where he put together an amazing run with wins in Toronto, Beijing and Vienna. He then started the year 2024 with an even more astonishing 16-0 run, including his first Grand Slam title, and the rise to 2nd in the rankings . 

His first loss came to no other than Carlos Alcaraz in Indian Wells , igniting the Sinner v Alcaraz rivalry for this year as well. Their playing styles are equally powerful, but also quite different – with Alcaraz being a bit more unpredictable and playful, but Sinner often seeming more consistent and controlled. I am sure they will battle many more times this year and fight for the big titles.

The challengers that don’t like each other

If you have ever seen the Netflix series Break Point , you now know that there is no love lost between two men in particular – Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev . The German had quite some words to say about the, in his eyes unsportsmanlike, behavior of Medvedev at the 2023 Monte Carlo Masters. In turn, the Russian shrugged off these comments in typical fashion, saying that Zverev should look at his own sportsmanship.

Whatever side you are on for this one, it makes their frequent encounters a lot more interesting, as Medvedev seems to be getting under Zverev’s skin easily. But there is no way to change it, they are in the same battle for the ATP top spots and will be running into each other often. And their heavy baseline tennis guarantees for a lot of long and hard-fought rallies, where often Medvedev takes the defensive part and forces Zverev to attack and finish points.

While Medvedev has already won a Slam, especially the German No.1 will need to find a way through these encounters frequently, if he wants to win his maiden Major and get to his dream of being World No.1. It will be interesting to see, whether this matchup will continue to be one of the most interesting matches in tennis, with a bit of extra-curricular activities in most of them.

What about America – and who is their No.1?

As of today, the proud tennis nation of the United States does not have a top-10 ATP player. Even though there are loads of talent around the tour from America, there hardly has been a break-through player similar to the likes of Alcaraz, Sinner or even Rune. Taylor Fritz has held the title as the top American for some time, but his sub-par start to the season has put him out of the top spots for now.

So, who are the main challengers? Ben Shelton won his first big title last year and is one of the tour’s hardest servers, something that always was an American stronghold, but he seems to still struggle on clay and can drop his level without an explanation at times. Tommy Paul just came back from an ankle injury and while his fighting spirit is being raved about, his consistency continues to be his weak spot. 

The two other Americans in the top-25 are Frances Tiafoe and Sebastian Korda – both incredibly talented, but also struggle with stringing together a coherent, successful season. Where Korda could sometimes maybe show up more animated, it seems that Tiafoe struggles when his opponent drains him from showmanship.

All these guys have the talent to break into the top spots, but there are a few steps to take. And mostly they have to do with accepting the daily grind on tour, accepting that clay is part of the season and showing up with good performances at all tournaments throughout the year. While Korda easily seems like the biggest talent of the four, Taylor Fritz seems to be the guy to beat for now, as he is the closest to playing an entire season at his best level.

Do you have any other rivalries you particularly enjoy? And who do you think will come out on top of the ones mentioned? Let me know in the comments!
