Up to 16 courts live and free for the Australian Open on your big screen as the global stars of tennis arrive at Melbourne Park, Seven’s new 7Tennis app also becomes available on Telstra TV today.

The 7Tennis app via Telstra TV puts viewers in total control to choose any of the 16 televised courts at the Australian Open on their big screens.

The exclusive live and free online coverage from Seven’s 7Tennis app allows fans to watch over 2000 hours and 500 matches of world class tennis streamed live, including the Channel 7/7TWO/7mate live broadcast.

Commenting, Kurt Burnette, Seven’s chief revenue officer, said: “The summer of tennis via our 7Tennis app will be seen by more Australians in more ways than ever before. With the 7Tennis app now on Telstra TV our viewers will get even more opportunity for the big TV experience of all the televised courts at the Australian Open. This partnership of two powerful Australian brands will also deliver our advertisers even more meaningful ways to connect.”
