The tennis is getting to the business end of the tournament, but with all Aussies out it’s all the way with Aunty on Wednesdays.

A solid night for the Australian Open 2021 Night 10 (616,000), though a cry of thousands of Aussies rang out earlier in the day as Ash Barty was defeated in her quarter-final match. In the evening break-up, the Stefanos Tsitsipas/Rafael Nadal match (613,000) kept viewers captivated across five sets. Nine take the win in both primary (26.2%) & network (34.6%) shares.

Nothing good for Seven after their primetime ‘high point’ of Home and Away (537,000). Ambulance: Code Red (348,000) isn’t even in the game, and the double-ep launch of The Bay (242,000; 196,000) barely bumped. Criminal Confessions (92,000) late night fare at best. Seven second in both primary (15.5%) & network (23.2%) shares.

The ABC’s Wednesday night line-up reinforces it’s the one to watch for entertainment. 7:30 (590,000) paired with Australia’s highest rating game show Hard Quiz (684,000) easily won the first hour, and then The Weekly With Charlie Pickering (554,000) and Aftertaste (314,000) the second. A double ep repeat of Why Are You Like This (132,000; 67,000) and a repeat of Adam Hills: The Last Leg (61,000) rounded out the late evening’s entertainment. ABC third in both primary (12.8%) & network (17.4%) shares.

Dismal effort from 10. The Project (272,000 6:30pm; 437,000 7pm) as their high point, though down on earlier eps this week, was effectively scuttled by a dire double ep of Jamie’s Easy Meals for Everyday (271,000; 233,000). Add to that a double repeat of Bull (179,000; 198,000) looked to keep nobody happy. 10 fourth in both primary (8.8%) & network (16.5%) shares. #JamieOliverDoesNotRate
