The streaming platform will air ATP and WTA matches live in the new year as part of its Prime membership. Starting with the first tournament of the new season, the ATP Cup, the video-on-demand service will stream some of the most important tournaments including ATP 250, ATP 500 and ATP 1000 events as well as WTA International and Premier events.
The platform has also acquired rights to stream the US Open, the WTA Finals and the ATP Finals towards the year-end.
New Prime members can avail a 30-day free trial (sign up here) to experience the platform after which the service costs £ 7.99 per month. The platform also allows for cancellation at any time which gives members the option to subscribe to it on a need basis.
However, if a member chooses to avail the service for the year, an annual fee of £79 can be paid which gives the value of paying £ 6.58 per month, giving a better deal than the monthly payment option.
