Tennis on TV Next Week: How you can watch the Paris Masters, WTA Hong Kong and much more!

It is set to be another exciting week of main tour action, with the Paris Masters grabbing the headlines alongside three WTA 250 level tournaments.

And we, at Tennishead, have all the information on how you can watch the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Simona Halep and many more next week:

How can you watch the Paris Masters (ATP 1000)?

As always, Paris is the host of the final Masters 1000 event of the year, and it will also be the last time that it is held at the Bercy Arena ahead of its move to the Paris La Defense Arena in 2025.

World No.1 Jannik Sinner is the top seed, as he looks to improve on disappointing results at the tournament in previous years, having not surpassed the third round at the event in in his three previous appearances.

However, the Italian is set for a tough opener in the French capital with a potential meeting against American Ben Shelton.

Carlos Alcaraz is the second seed in Paris, looking to continue his impressive 2024 season, as he bids for his first ATP title on indoor hard courts.

Some of the other top players in Paris include former champions Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune and Karen Khachanov, as well as top seeds Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud.

Plenty of eyes will also be on Jack Draper, who has just won the biggest title of his career in Vienna.

However, the Brit will face a tough start in Paris with a first round match against Jiri Lehecka, before potentially playing the aforementioned Fritz.

Wildcards have exclusively been awarded to French players in Basel champion Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Adrian Mannarino, Arthur Rinderknech and Richard Gasquet, in what will be the veterans final ever appearance at his home Masters event.

How can you watch the Hong Kong Open (WTA 250)?

Hong Kong is set to host one of three WTA 250 events next week, with Diana Shnaider and Katie Boulter as the top two seeds.

Last year, it was Leylah Fernandez who took home the title after fighting back to beat Katerina Siniakova in the final.

And Fernandez returns to Hong Kong as third seed, with the former US Open finalist taking on Brit Heather Watson in the first round.

It is arguable that most of the eyes in this tournament will be on wildcard Simona Halep, who will be playing only her fourth tournament since her doping ban was reduced earlier this year.

Halep competed at the lower level WTA 125 event in Hong Kong earlier this month, and the former No.1 faces a tough first round match against sixth seed Yue Yuan.

The other wildcards in Hong Kong next week include 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, who is coming off the back of reaching the final in Tokyo, alongside Hong Kongers Eudice Chong and Cody Wong.

You can watch the Hong Kong Tennis Open on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as across other parts of Europe, or on Tennis Channel in the United States of America.

How can you watch the Jiangxi Open (WTA 250)?

The WTA remains in Asia for another 250 level tournament in Nanchang, taking place in the Chinese province of Jiangxi.

Last year, Marie Bouzkova had three championship points at this tournament, but could not convert them in a final defeat to Katerina Siniakova.

And the Czech is returning to Jiangxi with a vengeance as the top seed, looking to go one better than last year.

However, Bouzkova will face tough competition from the likes of Rebecca Sramkova, Moyuka Uchijima, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Kamila Rakhimova, Arantxa Rus, Lucia Bronzetti and the in-form Guangzhou champion Olga Danilovic.

Wildcards have been given to three Chinese players in Zhang Shuai, Zheng Saisai and Zheng Wushuang.

You can watch the Jiangxi International Women’s Tennis Open on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as across other parts of Europe, or on Tennis Channel in the United States of America.

How can you watch the Merida Open (WTA 250)?

Going over to the other side of the world, that is where we find the final WTA tournament of the week in Merida, Mexico.

This is only the second time that this event has been held, with the now-retired Camila Giorgi claiming the inaugural title last year.

For the 2024 tournament, Mexican No.1 Renata Zarazua is the top seed and is joined by Nadia Podoroska, Ajla Tomljanovic and Jule Niemeier as the four top ranked players.

Some of the other intriguing names competing next week in Merida include former World No.21 Jil Teichmann and former World No.19 Varvara Lepchenko, as well as younger stars Alycia Parks and Polina Kudermetova.
