Expert Commentator, Grand Slam Tennis

As a commentator for Nine, my role is to go beyond the baseline and uncover the “why” behind every moment, to find the turning point in a match or the story behind an athlete’s journey.

For a brand, the opportunity isn't just to be seen right across Nine’s ecosystem. It's becoming part of a story the entire country is emotionally invested in. That's a connection you cannot force, and that's where the magic is.
