Seven’s tennis won its biggest audience so far this year with 1.279m watching as Roger Federer defeated Andy Murray in four sets to reach his eleventh consecutive semi-final at the tournament.
The game came after defending champion Victoria Azarenka lost to Agnieszka Radwanska and Rafael Nadal defended his place in the tournament by fighting off Bulgaria’s Grigo Dimitrov and helped Seven secure more than 30 per cent of the audience share according to OzTam’s preliminary overnight ratings.

Nine’s new episode of CSI had 612,000 metro viewers from 8.30pm falling second in its timeslot after the tennis, and ABC1 was third with a repeat of Stephen Fry’s QI.
Ten’s audience share dropped to 9.8 per cent as Seven’s grew to 30.7 per cent and Nine held 17.1 per cent of the audience share.
