TMS International, the marketing agency for the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) and ESPN Brasil will broadcast the ITTF Pro Tour and the Pro Tour Grand Finals until 2011.

The contract is an extension of the existing agreement between the bodies and includes a new programme, ITTF World of Table Tennis, which will be aired on ESPN's website. It is believed to be on similar financial terms to the previous contract.

"We are very pleased with this extension, it gives table tennis fans a real chance to watch world class action on ESPN Brasil until 2011 with regularity on TV," said Anders Thunstrom, managing director of TMS International.
