SEVEN COMMENTARY TEAM
BRUCE MCAVANEY
In 2016 Bruce steps into the commentary box to
lead Seven’s coverage. When it comes to sports
broadcasting in Australia, Bruce has no equal.
Dubbed the “mastercaster”, he has hosted and

including the AFL Grand Final, Brownlow Medal,
Melbourne Cup, Australian Open tennis,
Australian Masters Golf, Bledisloe Cup and TriNations Rugby, as well as numerous Olympics.
LLEYTON HEWITT
Two-time Grand Slam winner and 2005
Australian Open finalist Lleyton Hewitt returns to
Melbourne Park to compete for the 20th year,
along with another stint in the Seven
commentary box when playing commitments
allow. Aussie tennis fans will be hoping he goes
deep into the second week of the tournament,
but should he bow out, viewers will again be
treated to some of the most insightful and current
thinking on the game today.
TODD WOODBRIDGE
Todd has earned a reputation as a forthright and
insightful commentator, both as the host of
Seven’s Wimbledon coverage and an integral
member of Seven’s summer of tennis for the
past nine years. As a player he was best known
as one half of The Woodies, alongside Mark
Woodforde. Together they won every Grand
Slam title as well as the Olympic Games gold
medal in Atlanta in 1996. All up, they won 61
career doubles titles, making them the most
successful doubles team in men’s tennis history.
JOHN FITZGERALD
This is John’s 20th year providing expert
commentary for Seven. His memories of the
Australian Open stretch back to Kooyong where
he won a doubles in 1982. As a player, his

Australia defeating Sweden in the 1983 and
1986 finals. John also held the No.1 ranking in
Australia, played in two Olympics (Seoul and
Barcelona), won six ATP Tour singles titles, 30
doubles titles (including seven Grand Slam titles)
and received the Order of Australia Medal in
1993.
HENRI LECONTE
After a stunning debut in the commentary box in
2010 as a special guest, Leconte has
entertained audiences with his flair and energy
ever since. As a player he reached two Grand
Slam singles semi-finals at the French Open and
Wimbledon in 1986, and attained his career-high
singles ranking of No 5. In 1988, he reached the
men's singles final at the French Open. Leconte
retired from the tour in 1996 with nine career
singles titles and 10 doubles titles.

Jim Courier’s name is synonymous with the
Australian Open and Melbourne Park. From his
celebratory jump into the Yarra River after winning
his two titles, to his always entertaining and
informative expert analysis, Courier has been a
popular feature of Seven’s broadcast since 2005.
Jim won 23 career titles in all, including two
Australian Opens (1992, 1993) and two French
Opens (1991, 1992). He also spent 58 weeks as the
top-ranked player in the world, having first ascended

Roger has seen the best of tennis from all angles.

to No.2, and played in two Grand Slam finals. Roger
has coached several current players on tour
including Gael Monfils and Grigor Dimitrov.
