Sportsnet has had interest in bringing the man that fans called Superman aboard after a cameo appearance last season. SPORTSNET ACES How much did the incredible run to a National Bank Open title by Canadian teenage sensation Victoria Mboko captivate audiences in this country? To record levels, apparently. In ratings released on Friday, the network said that Thursday’s title match in Montreal averaged 638,000 viewers — the most ever for a Sportsnet tennis broadcast. As well, the network said that, from start to finish, the NBO had a total reach of 5.5 million Canadians. The final week was a nice rebound for the network, especially on the production side. After a brutal opening week in which the rights holder bizarrely aired the ATP world feed — missing the entirety of Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime — the network rallied in a big way. Production of Mboko’s semifinal and final wins by the regular crew was outstanding with sharp graphics, great camera and direction work. The commentary matched the moment as well, with Caroline Cameron and Tracy Austin capturing the emotion and the action and Danielle Michaud nailing the courtside interviews. From the Toronto studio, recently retired Canadian tennis pro Eugenie Bouchard brought terrific insight. Top notch, all around.
