Yes there is a channel totally dedicated to tennis. Its name? None other then "The Tennis Channel". It is available on most cable providers throughout the United States and on Dish Network.and recently got added on DirecTV. This channel also shows coverage from other racquet sports such as badminton, squash, racquetball, and table tennis although it is not on that often. It has coverage of the Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup, World TeamTennis, and certain ATP & WTA tournaments. The Tennis Channel shares the United States broadcasting rights of the Roland Garros and the Australian Open with ESPN2. Both of these contacts go through 2011.
The Tennis Channel site has a page that shows all the tournaments on the professional tennis schedule including the Cups and the Slams. Besides certain tourneys, it shows what channel shows that tournament. Here's how to get there: If you go to the website of The Tennis Channel, there is a drop down menu under the name of Tournaments. Scroll over that menu and on the left side you have a link called Tour Schedule. Click on it and it will take you to a page that has all of the world's tournaments and what channel in the United States has coverage of it. Strangely enough it shows that as of now no American channel has coverage of the Masters Cup. I think ESPN has the rights to it. They did last year.

Yes there is a tennis channel, and it's actually called "The Tennis Channel". And it is heaven for anyone who loves tennis, or racquet sports in general (they show badminton, squash as well, but not as much as tennis). Even the commercials are geared for tennis fans. It's awesome, a definite must have for any fan. Go to tennischannel.com, and you can start finding out if it's available in your area. Good Luck
