Is it usual for Sam Groth and Jelena Docovich to be commentating solo together?
Due to the nature of tennis, coverage will often go past its scheduled time listed on the EPG.
Yeah throughout Wimbledon (and IIRC the French too), Todd, Sam and Jelena have rotated commentating in each combination of pairs. The benefit of Groth’s ability to step up into the ‘host commentating’ role when needed.
Ratings will be huge for Nine for Saturday

Very big night for Saturday night indeed, with Ash Barty playing in the Final of Wimbledon.
The final starts at 11pm, on Nine, with Gem having the pre-match show starting at 10.30pm (east coast). I wonder if Nine will update the schedule to move the pre-match to Nine, with Adelaide and Perth moving the whole match to Nine?

The first hour is on 9Gem before moving to 9 in Perth. It’s better if the first hour is on the main channel given the significance of this match.

Why would they start it on Gem at 9pm ……Strange

In Sydney, there’s a spot from 8pm until 9.30pm on 9Gem that just says “Wimbledon”. I’m assuming that this would be the Dylan Allcot game?

Yep. The Wheelchair singles final is scheduled that time slot.

What a win for Nine with Barty making the final. Should get big numbers.
Tough luck to Seven. 10 years of Wimbledon rights without a Australian finalist.

Probably even more unlucky for them in the sense that Ash Barty’s dominance started after they lost their most valuable property in the Australian Open.

Did Nine show the ladies and gentlemen’s doubles finals after Ash Barty’s final win, or leave them to Stan Sport?
They showed a replay of Alcott which is annoying as I wanted to record them. I have to watch the replay on stan
