Anyone for Tennis? Viewers tuned in not quite in their droves to see Lleyton Hewitt lose in the first round (and then they’ll tune in tomorrow night to hear him in the commentary box offering special comments). As expected Seven’s Tennis: 2013 Aust Open – Night 1 (1st – 1,246,000) dominated proceedings and helped Ch7 to a massive share win… what will likely be the first of 13 across the fortnight. Otherwise it was a bit of love for Ch9, but not much and not really, while Ch10 managed three shows in the Top 20 including Modern Family (14th – 501,000) and The Project (17th – 436,000).
