Sports technology provider Sportradar has been selected as the successful bidder for the global ATP data and betting streaming rights starting in 2024. The selection follows an extensive RFP process led by Tennis Data Innovations (TDI). The parties will now work to agree and finalize contractual terms in preparation for the new rights cycle, starting from January 1 next year.

The RFP process was initiated by TDI in January 2023 and saw five bidders submit detailed proposals across multiple rounds for a six-year rights cycle beginning in 2024. The process took to market rights that have grown significantly in value over more than a decade, a press release notes.

The process followed the setup in 2020 of TDI as a specialist joint venture vehicle of ATP and ATP Media to oversee the development and commercial management of all data and betting streaming products for the ATP Tour and ATP Challenger Tour.

David Lampitt, TDI CEO, said: "Sportradar has been chosen as the best partner to deliver against our growth ambitions due to its combination of product capabilities, global reach, and an innovative commercial model that preserved our ability to share in the continued growth of this market."

"The competitive nature of this process, as well as the compelling, successful bid from Sportradar, reflects the incredible value of ATP content. We look forward to forging a successful partnership together," he added.
