Tennis fans will not be tuning into Channel Nine to watch the Australian Openthis summer, after Nine Entertainment Co chief executive Hugh Marks walked away from negotiations with Seven West Media.

The two rival free-to-air networks have been in lengthy discussions about whether Seven would sell the rights to its final year of tennis to rival Nine.

Mr Marks' decision to abandon negotiations means Nine will be without a mainstream sport this summer - it lost the rights to broadcast cricket to Seven and Foxtel earlier this year - but has more money to invest in other programs.

Seven West Shares jumped 1.8% on the news.

===================

I wonder if they will have programming clashes over the summer ? Ch7 only have 1 HD channel and two SD channels. Which sport gets HD priority ?
