IMG, the global media agency, has renewed its consultancy agreement with Tennis Properties Limited and will continue to advise and assist on the global distribution of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000s and the ATP World Tour Finals until the end of 2013.

The events are tennis' top level tournaments outside of the four Grand Slams. IMG has been the exclusive media rights consultant to TPL, the rights holder and host broadcaster of the series, since 2001. The lucrative three-year contract could be worth a seven-figure sum to the agency.
