SonyLiv streams Australian Open
New Delhi, Jan 15 (IANS) SonyLIV, the digital platform of Sony Pictures Networks (SPN) India, began streaming the Australian Open which started on Monday in Melbourne.
Also, known as the ‘Fans Slam’, the Australian Open is chronologically the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events of the year.
The 106th edition of the tournament will see Roger Federer defend his title, after his memorable five-set win over Rafael Nadal last year. Crowd favourite Novak Djokovic will also be looking to leave behind an injury-plagued 2017, as he takes the field in a competition he has won six times.
SonyLIV will also be exclusively streaming coverage of an additional court along with the regular matches.
The matches will also be available as video on-demand (VOD) so that fans can follow the action at their own convenience.
Uday Sodhi, EVP and Head, Digital Business, SPN, said: “SonyLIV aims to be at the digital forefront of making India a multi-sport loving nation. Digital platforms are transforming the sports viewing experience and changing the dynamics between fans, players, teams and advertisers.
“We are proud to present The Australian Open 2018 which kick starts the new Grand Slam season. We at SonyLIV are as excited as our viewers and brand partners to follow every serve of the Grand Slam live.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
