What I liked about Seven’s (former) AO coverage was they used their own graphics, whereas Nine now uses the TA graphics except with supers to show their local commentators.

I think that’s because Seven produced the whole coverage including the world feed.

One of the reasons Nine liked this deal was so they weren’t having to spend more money on production, I know where you’re coming from, but why wouldn’t they use a feed that’s already mostly prepared for them.

Nine still do their own too, be it packages, highlights, replays, live-crosses, studios and during matches as you mentioned putting their own commentators, graphics and stats on, as well as going to shots from around the grounds or other courts.

I think since 2019 it’s more a collaborative relationship between Nine and TA, they’re kind of joined at the hip.

I also know that ESPN have used their own graphics for all the tennis Majors (including the Australian Open and Wimbledon), though this year I think they also utilized the TA graphics such as the score bug on the bottom left, and an expanded one in between games/sets, as well as their own ones in between matches.
