CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – For the third consecutive year, the Atlantic Coast Conference and ACC Network have teamed up with Cracked Racquets to produce 14 CrossCourt Cast shows during ACC conference play. Cracked Racquets, a leader in tennis media, is committed to empowering the ACC tennis community by making the sport more connected, inclusive, and engaging through its broadcast and podcast coverage this season.
 
The CrossCourt Cast format, like NFL Redzone or whip-around coverage, incorporates every match during play. While the live stream will focus on broadcasting the most exciting moments of a day’s play (match points, breakpoints, momentum swings, Top-10 matchups, 4-3 finishes, etc.), it will also cover every team and individual competing.

Cracked Racquets’ CrossCourt Cast coverage of ACC tennis begins this Friday, February 21, and will continue through Saturday, April 12, on ACC Network Extra. The schedule includes shows on February 21, February 23, February 28, March 2, March 9, March 15, March 16, March 21, March 23, March 28, March 30, April 5, April 11, April 12 and April 13.
