Tennis Commentary

Can someone confirm if ALL tennis matches being shown on Sky have full commentary (if I'm selecting one of the multiple matches being streamed simultaneously)? Or is it only for select matches of those being shown on the main live feed?
Cheers

The Sky Sports + additional streamed matches for the ATP and WTA all do have commentary.

There were a few occasions in the early launch of Sky Sports + when the commentary had some initial teething issues on some of the Sports streams, not just Tennis.

If at anytime you do find a particular stream is having audio or no commentary, would suggest sending an email to the Sky Viewer relations team to report it, so they can pass on to the Sky Sports relevant team to check and correct.

They do respond to emails with any updates for your queries or problems.

That's interesting........ I don't seem to get commentary on tennis matches apart from the main live feed. Today I could only get commentary on the Sablenka match (main feed) but when I selected the Zverev match I had no commentary. not the first time I've had this issue. Frustrating!

I'm currently watching the Canadian Open tennis and what is bizarre is that all of the WTA matches on Sky sports + streams have commentary but none of the ATP matches have commentary, even the main centre court. The only commentary I've heard is from the Sky team on live TV. Don't know why??

I'm testing this now with Maroszan Arnaldi match on sky sports+ and there is no commentary either. Same with Michelsen and Cerundolo, and also Kachanov v Atmane. Both atp

Wta match of mertens and bondar has commentary.

I tend to watch more WTA matches than ATP and every single WTA match stream on Sky sports + has commentary. I haven't found an ATP match stream with commentary so far. The Cam Norrie match had commentary from Annabel Croft etc but only if you watched it on the live TV channel. The same match had no commentary on the live stream . Very odd and annoying! Perhaps it's a technical issue?

Further to my previous post, I queried with Viewer Relations why the ATP matches Court Choice streams on Sky+ don’t include the world‑feed commentary when, for the same match, it is broadcast on their linear channel. I’m sharing the response I received from Sky Viewer Relations:

“Not all matches available through Sky Sports+ will have commentary. Commentary is generally provided on matches selected for the Sky Sports Tennis linear channel. For ATP and WTA events, we take the live feed from Tennis Channel. The availability of commentary varies between individual feeds and matches. This is not a technical issue but a difference in the feeds being supplied.”

It’s worth noting that most WTA matches include commentary on the Sky+ streams, which is why the missing commentary on ATP matches is confusing. I asked Sky for further clarification, especially as the world‑feed commentary is available on the official ATP streams for the same matches. Sky replied to say they have nothing further to add and have simply logged the feedback.

Posting this here for others who have been wondering why ATP match commentary is missing on the Sky+ streams and looking for an official answer. If it helps, have a look to see if that same match is being broadcast on either the Sky Sports Tennis or Sky Sports+ linear channel at the same time, as it is likely there will be commentary on the linear channel broadcast. Obviously if it's not being broadcast on the linear channels then you have to watch with no commentary which personally I dislike (I know other people welcome it!). Hope this helps!
