Kia and the 2015 Australian Open Game, Set and Match – Kia And The 2015 Australian Open Massive upsets, a new wave of Aussie young guns, incredible crowds and two champions of the game taking back their crown – Australian Open 2015 had it all! Having sponsored the Australian Open since 2002, it was great to once again see Kia’s name in lights! Let’s recap and take a look at what made this tournament so special. Here at Werribee Kia we consider ourselves pretty lucky to have our brand associated with one of the finest sporting events in the world. Kia plays a key role in supporting the players and promoting the growth of the game through numerous activities in and around Melbourne Park. Every year, more than 100 shiny new Kia cars are supplied to the Australian Open to make sure all of our favourite tennis stars get to and from the game in comfort, safety and style. The Kia Lucky Drive program was a smash hit once again in 2015, inviting tennis fans from around the globe to experience Australian Open fever – an absolutely unforgettable experience for all the winners. And, following on from last year’s success, the Kia Greatest Fan competition returned better than a Djokovic forehand! Fans were asked to show just how ‘die-hard’ they were by uploading their fan photos online or using one of the Kia Greatest Fan Photo Booths on-site. With a brand new Go-Pro up for grabs, the response was massive! Check out the hilarious entries and make sure to support your favourites. It mightn’t have been able to handle a tennis racquet that well, but the Wolverine-inspired Kia Sorento sure attracted a lot of attention at the open. The customised and re-modelled adamantium-themed Sorrento was part of a global online promotion featuring a tennis star with some super powers of his own – the one, the only, Rafael Nadal. Speaking of on-court stars, let’s give a mental clap to our two deserving winners – the Men’s Singles winner, Novak Djokovic, and the Women’s Singles winner, Serena Williams. These two have dominated the Open during their incredible careers - that’s five now for Novak and six for Serena! Who would argue against them going back-to-back next year? Not us, that’s for sure. Well done to both champions. Whilst the curtain has closed on a thrilling Australian Open 2015, our most exciting competition of all is still in action. How does a trip to the tennis in Paris sound? Pretty good, we’re guessing. This mind-blowing competition includes two return airfares, all transfers, accommodation, two tickets to the tennis and $3000 spending money. Entering is fun and easy. Simply book a test drive of your favourite Kia car (at Werribee Kia of course!), grab your unique code upon completion of your drive and enter online at kia.com.au/win. So there you have it. Australian Open 2015 is done and dusted. What drama, tension and excitement will it provide next year? We can’t wait to find out. As always, for the latest on all things Kia - you’re in the right place. Werribee Kia Werribee KIA (LMCT 8938) - 22 Morris Road, Hoppers Crossing, VIC 3029 Phone: Sales Hotline - 1300 054 385.

  • Grand Slams’ Are Iconic Global Sports Competitions And, As Proven by the 2017 Australian Open, Capable of Drawing Blockbuster Audiences
    The four tennis ‘grand slams’ are iconic global sports competitions and, as proven by the 2017 Australian Open, capable of drawing blockbuster audiences. Roger Federer’s victory over Rafael Nadal brought Eurosport its largest-ever audience for a tennis match with 20.7 million viewers across Europe, while in the host country, the 3.6-million (4.4-million peak) figure was the highest audience for the final in over a decade. The prestige and image attached to grand slam tennis is not lost on the sport’s broadcast partners. For domestic broadcasters this has led to a continuous fee increase for the quartet of slams. Using Sportcal’s Revenue Dashboard – available to subscribers of the Media Intelligence Centre – to analyse the domestic revenue generated, Sportcal Insight examines how the grand slams have enhanced their domestic rights revenues. Currency conversions, where possible, have been done at the time of the deal and modelled data has been used for incremental rises during a rights agreement. All grand slams have long-running domestic deals with established broadcasters. This, it can be argued, limits competition and the potential for mushrooming revenues, resulting in a more modest rise than might otherwise be the case. In Australia, free-to-air network Seven’s most recent deal with Tennis Australia is under investigation by the country’s corporate watchdog because a competitive bidding process wasn’t launched, amid claims that the governing body could have raised an extra A$50 million ($45 million) had the rights been taken to the open market. The 2017 women’s Australian Open final attracted 360,000 more viewers than the final of T20 cricket’s Big Bash League (aired on another free-to-air broadcaster, Network Ten, at the same time).

  • Facts and Statistics Indicate Fixing at the Very Top of Men's Tennis
    Facts and statistics indicate fixing at the very top of men’s tennis by Katarina Pijetlovic, LL.B, LL.M, LL.Lic. LL.D cand. [email protected] EU and sports law academic Facts and statistics strongly indicate that draws at the Grand Slam tournaments 2008-2011 might have been fixed at the very top of men's tennis. Namely, in 12 out of 12 Grand Slam tournaments played on hard and grass courts between 2008-2011, Federer and Djokovic were always drawn to the same half of the draw, while Nadal and Murray were drawn to the other half. In addition, in five of those 12 tournaments Murray was not among the first four seeded players, so his draw was conducted separately five times. Thus, the statistics are as follows: to get the same result 12 out of 12 times, probability is 1 in 4096. For the case of Murray's separate draws which produced the same result 5 out of 5 times, it is 1 in 32. THEREFORE, THE PROBABILITY TO OBTAIN DRAW RESULTS AS OBTAINED AT THE 12 GRAND SLAM TOURNAMENTS IS 131072 TO 1 (4096 x 32 = 131072). Combined with the study conducted by ESPN on the draws of unseeded players at US Open it reaches 1 in many BILLIONS. FACEBOOK PAGE ON THIS ISSUE WITH MORE DETAILS AVAILABLE AT http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tennis‐ biggest‐public‐secret/284730451547505?sk=wall DRAWING PROCEDURE In general, at the Grand Slam tournaments players are entered in the draw sheet based on their current standing on the ATP rank list.
