Hello! This is my friend Matt Hill, Matty is one of the best live action sports camera men in the world. Here he shoots Andy Murray as he gets ready to practice on Rod Laver Arena in anticipation of the years first grand slam. Before we get going here at the Australian Open, I wanted to draw some attention to the people behind the cameras, the people that bring the best live tennis coverage there is to you, the tennis fan! So often when the viewer tunes in they have no idea how much work and collaboration is going into the broadcast they are watching. The truth is, the broadcast of a live sports event that takes place over two weeks and will have over 140 hours of live coverage is a big deal! I feel very lucky to be part of a great team at ESPN and get to work along side so many great people. Im looking forward to helping bring the next two weeks of tennis to you at home, so tune in!
