Thursday TV Wrap: Aussies Tune In For Thanasi Kokkinakis Vs Andy Murray Despite Late Finish

Thursday TV ratings were a clear win for Nine, with a peak of 522,000 Aussies tuning in to watch the Australian Open.

It was a late night for tennis fans with the match between Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis not finishing until 4am in the morning.

The match was the longest of Murray’s career and the British tennis player was not happy about it.

He described the late finishes as a ‘farce’ and said it was ‘not beneficial’ for the umpires, the players, the officials, the fans and the ball kids. 

The tournament helped nine climb to a channel share of 37.1 per cent for Thursday, followed by 26.7 per cent for Seven, 14.0 per cent for Network 10 and ABC TV Network both and 8.1 per cent for SBS Network.
