Highlights will also be available to stream in the UK on HBO Max throughout the tournament.
In the Nordics, selected matches including the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Singles Finals will be shown on WBD’s free-to-air channels – REX (Norway), Kanal 5 and 9 (Sweden), and TV5 (Finland).
In-app innovations on HBO Max include Key Moments, allowing viewers navigate to key points in the game; Multi-view, which showcases up to four matches simultaneously on one screen; Multi-language feeds with selectable commentary available; and 1080p Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos coverage.
