ATP CHALLENGERS 2021
There are an increasing number of Challengers this year, largely to offer extra matches to those in the lower ranks to gain points and earn some money to keep them in contention.
It's become the norm for there to be back-to-back Challengers at the same venue or in the same country so that those who don't earn squillions don't have to spend so much on travelling round to events.
Covid19 has had a significant impact given that many countries have now imposed travel restrictions and long quarantine requirements so increasing Challengers in countries already hosting them will enable players to keep going at the bread and butter end of the business!
For now we'll keep this thread closed so that 'reference' information can be added.
WATCHING CHALLENGERS
The ATP has Challenger Video for most singles matches on the circuit. It's not a huge screen but at least it's something visual and it is free! There are sometimes other livestreams.
