Tennis Channel is expanding Hall of Famer Jim Courier’s roster of tournament assignments to include the Australian Open, starting with the 2014 edition in Melbourne. Courier will have a nightly presence during the network’s two-week coverage, which begins Monday, January 13, and will appear in a series of special segments from the tournament grounds in Melbourne.

 

Interestingly, Courier will also be serving as one of the lead analysts for Australia’s Channel 7, the main broadcaster, so his days will be very busy and his analysis during matches for Tennis Channel will be limited.

 

Tennis Channel will dedicate more than 180 hours to this year’s Australian Open, with 30 hours of live match play, another 60 hours of encore replays, more than 80 hours of Australian Open Today and nine hours of daily highlights.

 

This is Tennis Channel’s seventh year of televising the Australian Open. As with previous tournaments, the network will carry 10 straight nights of live primetime matches from Monday, Jan. 13, through Wednesday, Jan. 22, beginning at 7 p.m. ET each night. This coverage will run from the first round through the singles quarterfinals, and be followed by live coverage of a mixed-doubles semifinal and the mixed-doubles final, and the men’s and women’s doubles finals later in the week.

 

Tennis Channel’s morning highlight-and-encore show Australian Open Today will run daily from Monday, Jan. 13, through Wednesday, Jan. 22. Close to 80 first-run hours are planned for 2014, with a five-hour encore edition on the second Monday, Jan. 20.

Other than Courier, Tennis Channel’s On-Air Talent include Bill Macatee, Martina Navratilova, Tracy Austin Justin Gimelstob, Brett Haber, Stubbs, Jon Wertheim and Paul Annacone, who just became Sloane Stephens’ coach.
