Sportradar and the International Tennis Federation extend their agreement for three more years

As reported by Sportradar, the agreement extends the strong partnership and enables the Federation to deliver several important ongoing integrity-led projects, including the development of an innovative technology infrastructure to further enhance integrity protection at the events of the World Tennis Tour.

We must emphasize that ITF, in association with Sportradar, will continue to invest significantly into accreditation, control systems and personnel to safeguard the integrity of tour events, leading the tennis world in efforts to ensure a secure player and fan experience.

As the world's governing body for tennis, the ITF subscribes to the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) anti-corruption program and services for all tennis. As part of its ongoing commitment to protecting the integrity of its sport, the ITF will continue to take advantage of Sportradar's integrity services by including its Universal Fraud Detection System.

At the same time, Sportradar will create a suite of enhanced digital assets connecting tennis fans with new websites, apps, and fan-centric products to provide a more dynamic user experience that will be powered by Sportradar’s fast, accurate and reliable data.

On the extension of the agreement, Carsten Koerl, CEO of Sportradar, said: “We have partnered with the ITF for almost a decade, and the extension of our agreement is a sign of their continued trust, which is built on a shared commitment to innovation and to driving increased fan engagement. We are passionate about tennis and I’m very proud of the benefits this partnership will bring to an incredible sport. "

On the other hand, ITF President Dave Haggerty mentions that the agreement “will help to ensure the protection of integrity and data as well as a digital platform that will enhance the fan experience around ITF World Tennis Tour and major events, including the Billie Jean King Cup".
