Last night’s men’s final in which Serbia’s Novak Djokovic defeated Italy’s Matteo Berrettini 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3, was the third most watched match of the tournament. It secured an average audience of 318,000 (Metro: 248,000 / Regional: 70,000) and a peak audience of 572,000 (Metro: 438,000 / Regional: 134,000).

The late-night share performance of Wimbledon 2021 contributed to 9Network and Channel 9 winning the past two weeks with all key demographics and Total People.

Brent Williams, Nine’s Head of Sport, said: “Congratulations to Ash and Dylan on their memorable and historic victories. Indeed, the whole Australian playing group provided some incredible performances across the entire tournament. I also want to acknowledge our studio team of Todd Woodbridge, Jelena Dokic and Sam Groth, whose insightful commentary and astute knowledge helped make our broadcast the incredible success that it was across all of Nine’s platforms. We were delighted to also present a new unique offering on Stan Sport with tennis fans across Australia enjoying live and on-demand streaming of every match from Wimbledon.”
