On some ATP tournaments there are a lot of tennis matches (especially at the first round) playing at the same time.
I am wondering, are all of those matches showed somwhere in the world on TV?

Because as betfair have all tennis matches in-play, if some of them are not on tv live streaming, how do they know actually how to manage those markets?

managing tennis markets is just turning them in-play and suspending sometime after match is over. it's not like tennis markets are temporarily suspended at crucial times like football markets are, so there's no need for live pics.

Someone i know used to work for Bet365, he used to travel around the world with a PDA going to tennis tournaments, updating the score on the PDA feeding it back to Bet365 servers. Even when something isnt televised he went to the tournaments

That's not 100% true though because markets do have to be suspended if there is a rain delay or injury.

or if there is some kind of delay. The chap i know said he was frequently phoned up because he wasnt feeding the data quick enough and it was causing bet365 to suspend the markets. Basically, thats how he got fired, because he wasnt quick enough

Far from being suspended, markets usually move more for a rain delay than a double break Laugh

Basically, I am wondering how all those bookies (not just betfair) are managing tennis markets?
Where and how actually they are getting results and live feed from all those matches?
