The most memorable Wimbledon moments and matches will also be shown throughout the tournament on Australia’s only dedicated Grand Slam channel.
Viewers will receive live and high definition primetime coverage of the year’s third Grand Slam from the first round through to, and including, the Quarter-Finals with three exclusive live matches each day across the first nine days.
In addition, fans will be able to choose from seven live matches at any one time across the opening week for the first time ever.
