Just carrying the produced coverage yeah?
This is just a vibe 
Nothing says Kooyong more than this image! Wonder if they were a tad sloshed before going on air?
–
In all seriousness though, enjoying the legendary voice of Allan Stone (one of the Seven OGs going back to the 70s and had been working for AO’s world feed). Also Pat Cash, Paul McNamee and another former Seven tennis figure Kerryn Pratt (who went back to ATN7 in the 80s with a stint at Nine but quietly disappeared from Seven’s coverage after about 2013 and then fell out with TA).

Good on SBS for actually having the rights, I doubt the ABC would’ve tried and I do quite like the vibe of the desks.
It certainly doesn’t look too amateurish but shows that such productions can be also done on a budget and not look like something out of a Facebook Live

SBS still has rights until 2028. The new season starts tomorrow afternoon.
