Tennis fans will be able to watch the 2XU Compression New Zealand Davis Cup team live even if they can’t make it to the Asia/Oceania Group I Round 1 tie against Uzbekistan, indoors at the TECT Arena, Baypark, Tauranga 10-12 February.

After last year’s trial, Live Streaming of all matches with commentary has been confirmed for next week’s clash. There will also be twitter updates Twitter@tennisnz as well as regular updates, pictures, stories and videos on Facebook and plenty more on the Tennis New Zealand website www.tennisnz.com

The live streaming will be on the Tennis NZ website on the homepage and will use commentators from the ASB Classic and Heineken Open, Matt Brown and Lee Radovanovich for the whole weekend.

“For those who can’t attend the tie in Tauranga itself the live streaming is the next best thing. The trial last year proved popular and it’s an ideal way to watch our best New Zealand players take on the Uzbek team who have a top 100 player as their No1 in Denis Istomin. We believe people want to see Kiwis play at a high level and this is what Tennis New Zealand is delivering,” says Tracy Hall, Tennis NZ High Performance Programme Manager.

Live Stream Schedule:

Friday 10th February - 3pm - Two Singles Rubbers * Live Streaming will start from 2.45pm with the Opening Ceremony
Saturday 11th February - 3pm - One Doubles Rubber * Live Streaming will start from 3pm
