For the first time in the tournament’s history, the Hopman Cup will be broadcast live and the possibility is high that the matches will be streamed live online as well.
“We’re excited to see the Hyundai Hopman Cup build a relationship with Seven, a long term partner of Australian tennis,” said Paul Kilderry, Tournament Director.
“Now fans will have the opportunity to watch all the action live and free in Perth and around Australia as we continue to grow the event’s audience domestically,” he added. “The strength of the 2014 field will complement Seven’s lead-in coverage to the Australian Open.”
“Seven is committed to building its presence in sports across Seven, 7TWO and 7mate,” said Saul Shtein, Seven’s Head of Sport. “We are driving home our leadership across three channels.
“The addition of the Hyundai Hopman Cup to our new Australian Open broadcast agreement adds further depth to our impressive portfolio of major sports events and further underlines our partnership with tennis in Australia, on television and across new forms of content delivery, including online, mobile and HBBTV.”
The upcoming Hopman Cup features eight of the world’s top 20 players with three top ten players.
