In the US, Qatar Open ATP tennis coverage comes courtesy of the Tennis Channel on linear TV, which shows all of the Grand Slam tournaments and plenty more action throughout the year.

If you don't have cable, you can get the Tennis Channel on over-the-top streaming service Sling TV, which offers it as an $11 per month add-on on top of either its Sling Orange package or Sling Blue package - each of which costs $35 a month, though there's a $10 off Sling TV deal you can enjoy right now to save you a few bucks.

Should you end up deciding to keep it, the cost for tennis and everything else Sling has to offer will be just $44 a month, which is much less than the competition and WAY less than cable!

Alternatively, consider grabbing yourself a fuboTV subscription. It's a complete end-to-end cable replacement services, which also offers the Tennis Channel on plans starting from $64.99 a month for over 120 channels.

New or existing subscribers to US streaming services can still access the platform of their choice from abroad, too - all you need is the help of a good VPN.

In Canada, you can watch the Qatar Open on English-language TSN, which is a premium channel that typically comes with a pay TV package.

If you get it as part of your cable deal, you'll just be able to log in with the details of your provider and get access to a Federer vs Basilashvili live stream, with the match expected to start at around 10am ET / 7am PT. 

If you don't have cable, then you can subscribe to TSN on a streaming-only basis from just CAD$7.99 a day or (much better value) $19.99 a month.

If you decide to subscribe or already have, remember you can take your favorite sports streaming service with you wherever you go - just try our No. 1 overall rated VPN 100% risk-free for 30-days and follow the instructions above.

If you fancy watching Roger Federer vs Nikoloz Basilashvili and are Down Under, you'll need to be a subscriber to beIN Sports.

Prepare for a late one though, as the match is scheduled for a 2am AEDT start on Friday morning (March 12).

If you're a Foxtel customer, you can add beIN to your package for an extra fee. No worries if you aren't though as you can also subscribe to beIN as a standalone subscription, costing $19.99 per month after you've taken advantage of a FREE two-week trial.

That said, sports streaming specialist Kayo Sports includes beIN tennis action in its package. The Basic plan costs just $25 a month and lets you stream on two screens, while Premium is a mere $35 a month for simultaneous viewing on up to three devices. 

Of the two, Kayo Sports Premium represents the best value as it offers multi-screen support - which means you can effectively split the price of a monthly subscription between friends or family and pay less.

Kayo also lets you watch a load of other great sports, and most enticingly, there's even a free 14-day Kayo Sports trial on offer, so you can check it out for yourself without committing a penny.
