@Trips+out  I'd guess they would use one of the available UHD channels when not being used for other sports events rather than a dedicated UHD channel.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

This is a good point.

 

I expect a good bit of coverage will be be simulcast on sky sports main event (and thus the uhd channel), particularly when matches are played on Monday to Fridays afternoons as the thing is, there isn't a lot of sport on I the middle of work week, maybe golf on Thursday & Friday, cricket occasionally 

 

Weekends are harder as there is a lot more sport on at weekends

Not that being on SkySpME UHD automatically makes it native 'proper' 4k resolution.

Worth remembering that for most tour events Sky won't be doing the court camera work: they will be taking the 'world feed' provide by the venue and if that's not 4K capture and production workflow then Sky cannot offer native UHD output.
