Nine's 'The Greatest' set to debut during sporting hiatus
In a time when most of the world's biggest sporting leagues and competition have called a time out on their seasons, Nine continues its commitment to delivering fans some of the most unforgettable moments from the worlds of rugby league and tennis with two exciting and entertaining new programs.
Beginning this Friday night at 7:30pm AEDT, The Greatest debuts on Nine for viewers in Sydney and Brisbane, available to watch later on 9Now for all viewers.
Each week hosted by James Bracey, Nine's panel of NRL experts including Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns and Phil Gould will break down the greatest moments from historic Grand Finals and State of Origin matches that have become legend, the greatest players of all time, the greatest and most unforgettable tries of all time, and more.

They will be joined each week by other members of Nine's unrivalled commentary team, including 'The Voice of Rugby League' Ray Warren, Paul 'Fatty' Vautin and Peter Sterling to cover the stories behind the big moments in typically entertaining fashion.
The Greatest continues at 3:30pm AEDT every Saturday afternoon, airing nationally on Nine, as former tennis stars and members of Nine's tennis commentary team Todd Woodbridge and Sam Groth analyse some of the most memorable Australian Open matches which went on to become instant classics.

From every gruelling rally, to every lightning ace and passionate point, the duo will pull apart the greatest moments of some of the best tennis players in the world.
This week – the tightly-fought struggle between Aussie star Nick Kyrgios and Russian Karen Khachanov which ended in the tightest of margins from this year's Australian Open, and the gripping 2005 women's semi-final between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova which went on to become an instant classic.
