It's more a simple case of rights ownership.
TSN has the rights to the ATP tour (500, Masters), as well as the grand slams.
Sportsnet has the rights to the Davis Cup, Fed Cup and to the Rogers Cup individually.
DAZN has the rights to the WTA tour and ATP 250 level events. DAZN, alas, is a OTT service only. Soccer fans are going to have the same problem next year as TSN and Sportsnet have lost the rights to the English Premier League to DAZN.
