Ten’s Celebrity bounces back against Nine’s tennis coverage

Nine’s tennis audience fell by between 200,000 and 300,000 from earlier nights — 658,000 for the early evening, 623,000 later — and the Open was beaten by Ten’s I’m A Celebrity with 781,000. And there was 710,000 nationally for 7.30 on the ABC — current affairs more popular than the tennis?

The record 152 from Glenn Maxwell was watched by 466,000 on Seven in the late BBL game, and the first double hat-trick by Cameron Boyce was watched by only 307,000 national viewers. The BBL finals start tomorrow night.
