Todd Woodbridge spoke to the Eastern States that viewers wanting to continue watch the tennis would switch to 72. Because at 5, The Chase will air at that timeslot. With the expected low ratings, 7 makes plans to switch to 7TWO.
WA continued to watch the tennis as of 3:30PM onwards. If tennis doesn’t finish before 5, they will have plans to push to 7TWO with The Chase Taking Place.

The telecast was scheduled to finish at 4pm on the EPG.
Seven Afternoon News updates with Emily Angwin (in Melbourne) were still airing during the ad breaks (pre-recorded and lined-up).
Got all of that wrong 
The match finished at 6.25pm AEST with Kyrgios beating Isner in straight sets. I think today’s tie should have started at 10am AEST.

Normally it’s an 11AM start for Davis Cup in Australia, not sure why they went with 12PM knowing that potentially both rubbers could have gone the distance (still 5 sets, ITF considering change to best of 3 to attract top players but the scheduling of this being just after 2 of the biggest non Grand Slam tournaments rather than the match format is why the top liners often don’t play). Fortunately for seven they were able to play it at a quasi indoor court rather than an outdoor court where under the rules the rubbers couldn’t be played under artificial light, a rule that we saw a few years ago when we played Switzerland (Federer and all) in Sydney on a temporary grass court.

This has to be the latest start to Wimbledon in many years. Usually the tournament begins on the last Monday in June.
I wonder why day 6 coverage starts on 7mate not 7TWO in Melbourne (AFL is on main channel)?

From Monday 3 July
Nick Kyrgios, Daria Gavrilova, Ashleigh Barty and Bernard Tomic are set to fly the Aussie flag next week at Wimbledon as fans enjoy LIVE and FREE coverage of The Championships on Seven.
Kyrgios and Gavrilova have both been named as 20th seed, making them Australia’s top chances in the men’s and women’s draw respectively. Jordan Thompson and Thanasi Kokkinakis also proved they are in form with some stunning victories at London’s Queens Club. Thompson defeated reigning Wimbledon Champion Andy Murray while Kokkinakis got the better of last year’s Wimbledon runner-up Milos Raonic.
Seven’s broadcast will be hosted by Todd Woodbridge with expert commentary from three-time Wimbledon champion John Newcombe, along with Rennae Stubbs, Sam Smith and Geoff Masters.

Where it says “10:30pm Channel 7” in Melbourne & “10pm Channel 7” in Adelaide for Fridays, I don’t think that’s correct?
Friday Night Football always airs until 11:30pm [AEST] or so!
Also, is this a mistake?
The Friday and Saturday times match the schedule for those days
Adel 8.00pm on 7TWO, 9.45pm on 7TWO
The second 7TWO should be Channel 7

What it means is that AFL telecast on Fridays will finish early after the team song, then the tennis begins. Also applies to Saturday nights.

I suppose within the broadcast rights, the AFL are happy for Seven to do whatever (although Seven probably advise the AFL regardless).
So long as the final siren has sounded.

almost certainly. 7 and AFL will have co-ordinated while (if it’s the same as other sports I’ve worked across) there’s a high likelihood that they would have had a production meeting involving the team media managers and 7 production officials the day prior/day of broadcast telling them what they will/won’t need.

Just saw a new promo during Seven’s AFL for Wimbledon, going through world historical milestones and referring to the tournament remaining the same.
Was good.
