Watch the greatest players on the grandest stage

Grand Slam Champions, former World Number 1s and national icons return to the Royal Albert Hall for a dazzling display of high quality tennis and entertainment.

The season finale to the ATP Champions Tour, Champions Tennis has boasted legends such as John McEnroe, Pat Rafter and Goran Ivanisevic and offers unparalleled on and off-court action and entertainment. Enjoy competitive singles matches from ATP Champions Tour players, Legends exhibition singles and entertaining doubles across two matches each session.

The first stars confirmed to be competing in this year’s tournament include former British No. 1 and 2011 tournament champion, Tim Henman, three-time Wimbledon singles champion, John McEnroe and ever-popular showman Mansour Bahrami.

"I’ve played the Masters Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall almost every year since it began in 1997… That’s because It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world to play tennis, the acoustics are incredible, and I’ve won it a number of times. I’m already looking forward to getting back there in front of the great crowds they have, and to try to win it again."
John McEnroe

"The Royal Albert Hall is a little like Wimbledon in that it has history around every corner and down every corridor… It’s always competitive, we all still want to win, but we are able to play with less pressure now, and so we can engage with the crowd and enjoy it much more."
Tim Henman
