Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has assembled a grand slam lineup of tennis experts to head up the network’s tennis coverage ahead of the first serve of the 2023 Australian Open.
The SEN Tennis team will feature a number of renowned tennis greats as 17-time Grand Slam Doubles Champion Mark Woodforde and 2006 Australian Open singles finalist Marcos Baghdatis, team up with former players and now global commentators Louise Pleming and Robbie Koening.
Current Australian doubles superstars Luke Saville and reigning US Open Mixed Doubles Champion Storm Hunter will bring the players’ perspective.
New York Times correspondent Christopher Clarey will contribute a global lens to the coverage along with Canadian broadcaster and writer Stephanie Myles.
Rounding out the SEN Tennis team is the network’s own tennis ace and host of the popular radio program The First Serve, Brett Phillips, alongside Jordan Kounelis.
SEN Tennis will air from 7pm each night during the tournament, covering all night matches plus selected matches featuring Australian players, while Middle Saturday will provide non-stop coverage across the entire SEN network from midday.
Additionally, Dwayne Russell will be live on location at Rod Laver Arena during the tournament’s first week, broadcasting his Dwayne’s World program live, featuring interviews with the biggest names in tennis as the event unfolds.
