Tennis Channel's "T2" network will dedicate Tuesdays to women's tennis starting in early June, a spokesperson told The National Desk today.
We’re really excited to further commit to the best women’s tennis players in the world and their fans with a day of matches dedicated exclusively to them on T2 every week, completely free," Irv Schulman, senior vice president of Sinclair Sports Group, said. Tennis Channel reports that viewership between men's and women's matches is almost even at 50% each, according to the latest ratings. Tennis Channel's dedication to women's competition dates back to the network's launch in 2003, when its first televised match featured phenom Venus Williams.
