Alcott, who won gold in the men's singles tennis at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, expressed his gratitude towards Nine for the opportunity to be part of the line up.
"Discovering Paralympic sport genuinely saved my life. So when the widest reaching media outlet in the nation is willing to give a platform such as the 9Network and 9Now, it furthers the reality that our sporting disciplines deserve to become mainstream," Alcott told Nine.
