I saw the presentation on Stan Sport. Also had multi screen coverage of all courts live and on-demand which was a bonus

Telecast wrapped at 12:17am (11:17pm in Brisbane and 9:17pm in Perth), with James Bracey signing off on behalf of his team.
It’s probably a good thing (for Nine not fans anyway) it didn’t go 5 sets or it might still be going! And all the Post wouldn’t be done until after 2am. And so much wouldn’t have counted in prime time share in some markets. With this tournament’s ratings down, I don’t think even a 5 set with the calibre of those two players, would’ve been able to sustain audience deep like 2012 for example on a night everyone goes back to school and work tomorrow.

I remember this happening in Melbourne a few times following the NRL Grand Final coverage, especially after the 2009 NRL Grand Final which the Storm won (though this premiership was later stripped from them due to salary cap breaches); after full-time GTV went straight to the news and didn’t show the post-match presentation.
I also remember at least one other occasion where, after the 2000 Grand Final, Ray Warren said something among the lines of “and this is where we farewell our GTV viewers” shortly before the post-match presentation.

Seven did that in 2018 too in Perth when Roger Federer won his final grand slam title

The Sounding Board podcast has torn News Corp to shreds in their 2023 premeire podcast last week over its apparent ‘campaign’ against Nine (the only real platform I’ve seen go into detail about it):

ROLAND GARROS 2023
BEGINS SUNDAY ON 9GEMHD AND STAN SPORT
The stars of world tennis hit the famous red clay of Roland Garros when the second Grand Slam tournament of the year begins this Sunday, May 28, live and free on 9GemHD and 9Now from 6.30pm.
In the 127th edition of Roland Garros in Paris, Nine’s exclusive coverage will showcase 15 days of competition for free, with the action also available to stream ad-free, live and on-demand on Stan Sport, with select matches available in 4K.
Calling the action on Nine’s Wide World of Sports will be Roz Kelly, Todd Woodbridge, Jelena Dokic, Samantha Stosur, Brenton Speed and tennis expert Brett Phillips.
After his shock win at the Italian Open last week, Daniil Medvedev has overtaken Novak Djokovic in the rankings, leaving Djokovic with the possibility of being drawn on the same side as Spanish sensation and World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka will be primed for another display of power and precision when she goes hunting against women’s world No.1 Iga Świątek, of Poland, who is chasing her third Roland Garros title.
The Australian contingent is headed by Alex de Minaur who is ranked 19 in the world. Viewers will also be eagerly following our highest ranked female, Ajla Tomljanović.
Other players flying the Aussie flag include Jason Kubler, Alexei Popyrin, Chris O’Connell, Max Purcell, Jordan Thompson, plus the wildcards Thanasi Kokkinakis and Kimberly Birrell.

So has Nine only got coverage on Gem this year with no extra streams on 9 now?
Yeah, usual coverage. Stan is available if you want to pick what court you want

You can still live stream the court Nine are showing and Nine’s main channel as broadcast (locally) though.

I think at least Wimbledon (outside our domestic summer) Nine usually switch to main channel don’t they, later in the night say after NRL? However not sure what impact Ashes will have. I’d expect, if times allow and player dependant, in markets where there’s just movies or ob docs tennis / sports would get main channel treatment (Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth).

Has he signed with 9? Looks like he has left FOX because he’s been doing NRL for 9 too
