The Wimbledon 2021 Championships is scheduled to be held between June and July this year after the 2020 edition of the tournament got cancelled in wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Since the pandemic situation continues to prevail to this day, it seems like the Wimbledon 2021 Championships will end up becoming a closed-door event. Moreover, the ongoing UK lockdown is likely to last until March as recently hinted by England Prime Minister Boris Johnson, with a further official announcement set to impact the outcome of the Grand Slam.
The Star India Network recently extended its broadcasting rights for the Wimbledon Championship up until the 2023 event. Issuing an official statement, the network announced their renewed partnership with the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC).
Star India Head Sanjog Gupta said, “Wimbledon holds a rich tradition and is the most prestigious tennis event of the year”. He added that the Star India Network and the AELTC have been partners for over a decade and they are delighted to extend their association for another three-year term. The network’s Wimbledon association further enhances their tennis profile, which already includes exclusive Indian broadcasting and streaming of French Open and US Open.
