Sky’s decision to walk away from tennis next summer, after several years covering everything from the salad days of Tim Henman to the rise of Andy Murray, has left a gap in the market which Amazon Prime Video promised on Wednesday to fill by chasing a younger audience brought up in the live-streaming generation.

While Wimbledon looks secure on the BBC for the foreseeable future, Prime begins its pursuit of a younger constituency at the Queen’s Club on Monday, when the Fever-Tree Championships get under way.
