896,000 watch as Wawrinka knocks out Djokovic in Australian Open quarter-final
An estimated 896,000 metro viewers watched as four time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Switzerland’s Sanislas Wawrinka in a five set match on Tuesday night.
OzTam’s preliminary overnight metro ratings show the gripping game that turned the tournament on it’s head was the most watched show from 7.30pm and fifth in all programs.
Meanwhile Ten’s T20 Big Bash League fell to fourth in its timeslot as those not watching the tennis favoured Nine’s repeats of The Big Bang Theory or ABC1’s 7.30 and QI rerun over the cricket.
It was the final match of round seven of the T20 and the Melbourne Stars maintained its 100 per cent record beating the Hobart Hurricanes at the MCG, attracting an audience of 613,000 to Ten for the first session starting at 7.30pm and 556,000 for the second starting at 9pm.
However the match lifted from fourth to second in its timeslot after 8.30pm as Nine’s feature film with George Clooney, Ocean’s Thirteen, averaged 496,000 from 8.30pm to 11pm and the ABC1 repeat of New Tricks fell out of the top 20 shows. The ABC’s UK import By Any Means was 20th for the night with 488,000 metro viewers from 9.30pm.
Seven held over a quarter of the audience with a 26.6 per cent share, as Nine’s was 17.8 per cent and Ten dropped to fourth for the night with a 12 per cent share falling short of the 13.8 per cent for ABC1.

It’s nice to see the slightly overweight ugly guy win for once.
