Red Karavan were commissioned by The Island, to create the promotional animation for the new tennis tournament "Tie Break Tens".
Held at the Royal Albert Hall on 5th December 2015, the tournament featured 6 well known players from past & present, including Andy Murray & John McEnroe.
The format of the competition features the standard tennis rules, except there are no sets. Each match is played over a first-to-ten tie-break, in which a two-point lead is required (10-8, 11-9 etc). There were two groups of three players, and they used a round-robin format in each group. The top two players in each group after the round-robin matches advanced to the semi-finals, and the winners of the semi-finals, to the final.
The tournament winner, British player Kyle Edmund, walked away with the prize fund of $250,000.
