I expect Nine to win the night, but not necessarily because of tennis, but the selection of main channel movies (though old as the hills classic over on Seven might beat them so who knows).
I also think it’ll be barely a modest start for the Hopman Cup, which was the lowest rating of the tournaments last year, but again could be wrong.
