There's good news for tennis fans who are tired of being at the mercy of their local cable provider for live tennis coverage.

 

The ATP recently launched a re-vamped live streaming website with unique access to live and on demand, top-level tennis from both the ATP and WTA tours.

 

Covering a total of 41 events and offering more than 700 live matches, TennisTV.com provides live feeds not just from center court, but also the outer matches from the entire event. Now you can catch all the drama and excitement that leads up to the main events.

 

Choose from a $129 season-long tour pass, or $20 for individual tournament all-access pass. Membership also allows access to highlights, player interviews, features and all the live tennis you can handle.

 

Downside: Macs aren't invited unless you're running an Intel machine. You need the latest versions of Windows IE, Microsoft Media Player and Flash 9.0 or later. It also helps to have a good deal of RAM and a decent graphics card for optimal viewing.

 

On the plus side, hook your computer up to your TV and say goodbye to your cable provider.

Last year's popular ATP bracket challenge returns this season with the "Game. Set. March." 2009 Draw Challenge Circuit.

 

The circuit kicked off March 12 with a special double header at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells (Mar. 12-22) and the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami (Mar. 25-Apr. 5). The fan who earns the most points at these two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments will win a VIP trip to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London.

 

"Game. Set. March" also marks the beginning of the season-long, 12-tournament 2009 Draw Challenge Circuit, which comprises all nine ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events and the three remaining Grand Slam tournaments. The winner at the end of the circuit, which concludes mid-November at the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, will also earn a VIP trip for two to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

 

Additionally, any fan who picks a perfect draw at any of the 12 tournaments will win a VIP trip for two to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

 

Plus, as part of the ‘Game. Set. March.’ contest, $1,000, $500 and $250 Tennis Warehouse shopping sprees will be awarded to the top three finishers at the BNP Paribas Open and the top three finishers at the Sony Ericsson Open.
