Match Point at 5.59pm, will 9 go to news?
Perfect timing for Peter Hitchener with the news starting at 6.01pm. Tennis now on 9Gem. Hopefully we see some of the Nadal match finally.

Looked on my phone too. I can see the live streams of the main channels but couldn’t see any actual live games. Don’t worry. I never get on 9Now any other time anyway…
Can see 2 “live events” on the app on my tv tonight. Couldn’t see any last night.
Edit: now there’s only 1. A game must’ve finished?
Yep. There were 10s of them during the first week. You’ve come in at a relatively bad time, with not many matches going on concurrently.

I hope Nine are going to air the Wheelchair Final with the Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott on Thursday…

now that showing australians doubles matches is the priority for 9 over properly covering the singles events, will they be showing the 4 scheduled doubles matches featuring aussies all day tomorrow on 9(its australia day), meaning both womens singles qf, and the tsitsipas v sinner afternoon qf is relegated to 9now?
No the priority is what the advertisers want. If 9 projected big numbers to them yesterday for this Doubles match then it’s a big coup for 9. Better than some singles snooze fest.
K&K and Barty will pull big ratings for 9 like nobody else on tour. Milk it while you can.

so you think 9 snub all the aussies playing doubles on australia day? isnt that un australian?
you think advertisers want them to show ‘snooze fest’ singles matches on 9 instead?
if its all about what advertisers want, why arent anz requesting all matches of their guy alcott (aussie #1) be shown live on 9?
Just show both, they have more than one channel. Unless ancient movies from the 1950s are going to rate higher on 9Gem?
@parano1a for todays play you know gem will only be used during the one hour of news
@Pranks with that in mind…

Not unusual for a doubles semi to be on RLA, one of the mixed doubles is on RLA tonight with Aussie wildcards Jaimee Fourlis and Jason Kubler.

Loving Nine’s morning coverage before they begin showing matches. Tony Jones just jumped into a bin filled with cold water and ice! Earlier on, they did a tennis challenge with a couple of rugby players.

If there’s room/time between the singles QFs today to show portions of those doubles matches, Nine probably will. However, they’re not going to show them at the expense of not covering the singles matches. Yesterday was a unique situation considering the interest in Kyrgios & Kokkinakis and the run they’ve been on in the doubles.

Alcott doesn’t rate. He does not pull big numbers.

Going to be interesting to see if Alcott or the doubles will get the late arvo slot tomorrow
Disagree, honestly heavily
