Sport dominated the weekend with Nick Kyrgios’ five set thriller against Italian Andreas Seppi to become the youngest Australian Open men’s quarter-finalist in almost a quarter of a century on Sunday evening drawing a metro audience of 1.103m

The late broadcast was watched by a metro audience of 657,000.

Tonight promises to be more competitive of the year so far with Nine launching the new season of The Block two weeks before the ratings year at 7.30pm, whilst Kyrgios takes on Britain’s Andy Murray in the tennis quarter final at the same time, and Australia face off with the UAE for a place in the final of the Asian Cup on ABC and Fox Sports at 8pm.
