USA Australian open ratings.

[insideguy]

Well here are some annual ratings. Women final was up of course cause of Keys win. But mens was down as was tournament overall. I mean these are just USA ratings and barely anyone ever watches the Aussie open here but it is what it is. Just gives an idea what it is in the USA. Rest of the World I dont know.

Sunday’s Jannik Sinner-Alexander Zverev’s Australian Open men’s final drew 465,000 viewers on ESPN, down 12% from last year’s final, which featured Sinner’s five-set win over Daniil Medvedev. As a whole, the 2025 Australian Open finished with an average of 235,000 viewers across ESPN and ESPN2, down 11% from last year and 16% compared to 2023, despite having a women’s final that was up 34% year-over-year. The quarterfinals onward saw steeper declines for this year’s tournament with a 295,000 viewership average, down 20% from 2024.

Saturday’s Madison Keys-Aryna Sabalenka Australian Open women’s final averaged 452,000 viewers on ESPN, up 34% from last year (Aryna Sabalenka-Qinwen Zheng: 388K) and the most-watched women’s final of the tournament since 2022, the previous year it featured an American (Ashleigh Barty-Danielle Collins: 482K).

The women’s semifinals — Keys-Iga Swiatek and Sabalenka-Paula Badosa — averaged 357,000, up 13% from last year and the most-watched since 2021.

In general, I don't track ratings but the sheer numbers don't tell me much, as the time difference is so severe. Eastern US is 14 hours behind Sydney.

But the year-to-year increases and decreases are of some significance. Not sure why Sinner-Zv was so much less than Sinner-Med. If either Carlos or Novak, I'm sure the number would have increased.

Ya I dont know either. Its kind of interesting but these numbers as so small not sure 12 percent drop off matters a whole heck of alot. I suppose though the tournament being consistently down across the board on the mens side could indicate something.

I think a tight five-setter will generally do better than a straight-sets sweep.
