The Brisbane International has always been scheduled for the main channel in Brisbane tonight and tomorrow.

does the Brisbane International look blurry?

Looks ok to me but it might depend on where you are and how the bitrates are.
In metro areas 9Go! currently has the highest bit rate of any of Nine’s multiplex 4.1 Mbps
In WIN QLD 9Go has an bit rate of up to 7 Mbps

Those panels have been like that ever since they were in their old Willoughby studios.

Wonder if Nine might consider putting the Brisbane International on the main channel in its home Qld markets at short notice tonight, if this Joker v aussie Rinky Hijikata match goes the distance? Though you’d think unlikely and Novak is already up a break, at only 6:18pm in Qld.
Telecast will already go overtime, as it was scheduled to finish in 12min, which isn’t happening, due to the earlier Kyrgios thriller.
Not sure why but they randomly cut the coverage and didn’t show the last match. Probably due to it being on court 1 and not featuring a Aussie.

No closer? Or the hosts saying goodbye? That sucks. Should have ended the coverage better.

Nah, I actually caught Djokovic’s post match on court interview and Nine didn’t just ‘cut the feed’. There was a wrap, preview for D4 and ‘summer of tennis/AO’ montage closer complete with wwos ender. Hosted by Brett Phillips.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying it. Makes sense now.

Do you know who called the Djoko match with Tom Rehn and who did the post-match interview?

Main channel coverage in Sydney and Melbourne crashed into coverage at 7pm. Roz Kelly gave a v/o intro then after the match was seen in studio.

Nine should be happy the top seeds are getting through to the quarter in Brisbane plus Australian wildcard Kim Birrell.

Will any matches of the Brisbane International be on the primary channel on the weekend?

Abrupt and disappointing finish to the contest tonight; Nine would have been hoping for a longer match.

Happy 1 week to go until the 2025 Aus Open, MS folk!
Quiet please 
With my attention firmly on the December ritual of test cricket with the Australia and India series, I’ve hardly watched any of the lead-up tournaments, although I’ve still been dipping in and out and also watched a lot of highlights and read a lot of articles. But now, it’s onto the true sport of January.
Have Nine aired any specials/docos or have any more upcoming, apart from the McEnroe one the other night, anything I should jump onto 9Now for?
Note: AO organisers making quite a deal about ‘Week 0’ or Qualifying Week this week, trying to make a full 3 week festival out of it, including the extra Day 1 next Sunday. News Corp (HS) are major partner and have been pushing a lot of stuff.
Luke Dennehy, former HS, tennis fan and on the books for TA publicity these days, is also a regular guest on 3AW’s Weekend Break and was speaking at 2pm today, lots of callers all talking about their previous experiences and annual traditions.
It’s interesting that AO has two major media companies on board: Nine as domestic TV broadcaster and News Corp as presenting partner of Qualifying Week. I thought The Age would have been the sponsor of QW by default, as it is also owned by Nine.
