Tennis Australia told BBC Sport the aim is to “captivate a new generation of tennis fans, making the sport more accessible and engaging, particularly for kids and families”.

In the UK, for example, the Australian Open is broadcast by Eurosport, which requires a subscription.
A free-to-watch YouTube stream may also help appeal to younger audiences.
