Tennis on CBS is the branding used for broadcasts of professional tennis tournaments that were produced by CBS Sports, the sports division of the CBS television network in the United States. At the time the network's broadcast agreements with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) ended in 2014, CBS held the broadcast rights to the U.S. Open, the U.S. Open Series and the Sony Ericsson Open. From 1980 to 1982, CBS also televised the French Open[3] (sandwiched in-between stints at NBC). CBS also during the 1970s and 1980s, broadcast the Grand Prix tennis circuit[4][5][6][7][8][9] (including the Pepsi Grand Slam[10][11]). CBS returned to show tennis coverage again after five years, with both World TeamTennis (2019–2020) and USA matches at the Davis Cup (2020–present)[12][13]
