Other Tips for Watching the Rome Masters
- VPN Use: If traveling, a good VPN service can help access home-country streams (ex Sky Sports for UK viewers abroad), but verify legality and terms of service in your location.
- Official App: Download the official Italian Open app for live scores, schedules and match updates, available on iOS and Android.
- Betting Platforms: Betting sites like bet365 stream ATP and WTA matches live with a funded account ($10 minimum deposit) in select regions (I think UK and Australia at least). For this your need to check availability and local regulations but it’s worth looking into.
Tennis TV and WTA TV are the best bets for most fans wanting every match, with multi-court coverage and replays. For moer budget versions, free trials in the U.S. or Rai Play in Italy can offer great value, but you’ll need to plan around limited match selections. Sky Sports UK coverage is worth the cost for real fans.
