Tennis Channel is serving up a smorgasbord of Australian Open tune ups this week – broadcasting bits of the ATP’s Chennai Open, the WTA’s tourny in Auckland and some co-ed fun at both the Hopman Cup and the combined tournament in Brisbane. Odd and annoying: you can catch Roger and Rafa on Tennis Channel this week, but they’ll be showing tape of this past weekend’s exhibition in Abu Dhabi. If you want to watch the World Nos. 1 and 2 play live this week in Doha, you’re going to have to find a live stream – TennisTV.com is selling subscriptions. LiveScoreHunter is also worth a browse.
A quick look at who you might be watching this week:
Hopman Cup: Ana Ivanovic/Novak Djokovic for Serbia, Bethanie Mattek-Sands/John Isner for USA, Laura Robson/Andy Murray for Great Britain, Justine Henin/Ruben Bemelmans for Belgium, Francesca Schiavone/Potito Starace for Italy, Yaroslava Shvedova/Andrey Golubev for Kazakhstan, Alicia Molik/Lleyton Hewitt for Australia, Kristina Mladenovic/Nicolas Mahut for France
ATP/WTA Brisbane: Soderling, Roddick, Verdasco/Stosur, Peer, Petrova
