Being one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, you don't have an excuse not to follow the action at the upcoming grass major if you are an avid tennis fan. Plus, for the first time ever, it features a standard tie break in the final set when the score in the set is 12 games all, with the winner being the player who reaches seven or more points and leading by two points.
Schedule: July 3rd & 4th
Channel: Fox Sports 2 (CH813 & CH829)
The Subway Series is back after the National League's Mets and the American League's Yankees played out a split last month. Despite both New York sides having contrasting seasons to date, the inter-city doubleheader clash at the Citi Field should still be a cracking affair.
Channel: Astro Cricket (CH843)
With an outside chance of reaching the semi-finals, both Pakistan and Bangladesh will be keeping an eye on this match between two of the teams currently occupying the third and fourth place on the standings. A win will seal the winning team's place in the knockout phase, while the losing team will need to hold their breath and rely on results elsewhere.
Schedule: July 5th - 18th
Channel: Eurosport (CH814 & CH842)
The month-long grand tour is back for its 106th edition, beginning from Brussels, Belgium, and concluding on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, and has already promised to be an unpredictable affair. Last year's second- and third-placed finishers Tom Dumoulin and Chris Froome have been ruled out due to injuries, while defending champion Geraint Thomas might not be in his best shape after crashing at the Tour de Suisse last month.
Schedule: July 6th - 7th
Channel: Astro Supersport 2 (CH811 & CH833)
After a two-week break, the 2019 ITTF World Tour resumes in South Korea, with Chinese players surely looking to add more titles to their country's impresive haul so far. Xu Xin, in particular, is a man on form after achieving a rare triple crown (men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles) as China swept all five titles in Japan last month.
