Well, I did say a while ago, I wonât be posting predictions or commenting on daily ratings every day, being summer non-ratings.
Only for major events, like those Iâve posted above.
So I donât blame last years other predictors, if they donât want to start for a couple more weeks yet 
First day of Aus Open quarter finals 
Nadalâs match will dominate, especially if itâs thrilling & with bottom of the barrel BBL teams playing.
Australian Open - Night 9: 1m
Australian Open - Late Night 9: 500k
Itâs all about Roger Federerâs semi-final against the unbelievable Hyeong Chung tonight Which will dominate for Seven.
Australian Open - Night 12: 1.1m
Australian Open - Late Night 12: 800k or if 5 sets 1.2m
4th ODI cricket: 700k
My first predictions for 2018âŚ
Friday January 26
Federer v Chung in the tennis will be more popular than the cricket given Australia lost the one-day series.
Australian Open night 12 0.94m
One day cricket: Australia v England game 4
session 1: 0.68m
session 2: 0.74m

First of two huge nights for Seven, with the Aus Open finals. Last yearâs womenâs was around 1.5m (Serena Williams beating her sister comfortably), with 2016 around 1.7m (with Kerberâs first Grand Slam). BBL will be affected. HenceâŚ

Sunday 28th January 2018
Huge night, one of the biggest every year. Aus Open final with Federer in action again. Wonât be as big as last yearâs fairytale with Rafa, even if it is a great match or 5 sets. But it and Seven will still kill the night.
Unfortunate for new Optus Stadium in Perthâs opening day, but viewers will have plenty of opportunities to check it out during the afternoon.
Thereâs even more competition, the usual â â â â â â â â launch for 2018.

Another huge night to launch the 2018 ratings year. Australian Open final should be popular with Federer playing but the ratings wonât be as big as last year.
The cricket will rate well during the afternoon but will come second to the tennis tonight.
Iâm a Celebrity launch should rate decently but SEAL Team will be a flop on debut.
