Nine wins Week 2 of ratings

Week 2 of 2021 ratings goes to Nine, thanks to the Australian Open.

It drew up to 879,000 metro viewers on Day 8 -an adjusted figure for Ash Barty’s win over Shelby Rogers, but it was down on a Kyrgios match the preceding week.

Overall the 2 week tournament is also down on its usual January dates, but against stronger competition.

ABC’s Hard Quiz was the top entertainment show at 685,000 viewers, while Seven News topped the week.
