The agreement was negotiated by the USTA's media rights partner, IMG.

Alongside broadcast rights, fans in the UK and Ireland will also be able to catch up on all the action with clips and highlights available across Skys digital and social platforms.

This years coverage has featured augmented reality graphics, enhanced data integrations, in-depth touchscreen analysis and behind-the-scenes content, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before.

Skys tennis coverage is led by presenter Gigi Salmon and includes expert analysis from Tim Henman and Laura Robson, alongside additional talent and co-commentators at events throughout the season. Match commentary is provided by Jonathan Overend.
