On 21 August, around four million viewers, which accounted for
28 per cent of the TV market share, tuned in to see fellow countryman
Fernando González defeat America's Taylor Dent for the Bronze.
Just a couple of hours later, González was on court again
for the Men's Doubles Gold medal match playing alongside countryman
Nicolás Massú and facing Germany's Nicolas Kiefer
and Rainer Schuettler. The almost four hours of play registered
an average of 38 per cent market share. Around 5.7 million viewers
tuned in.
The stakes were raised further last Sunday when Nicolás
Massú played and defeated America's Mardy Fish for the Gold.
That match registered a 43 per cent market share.
TVN is no doubt hoping that the enthusiasm will continue when Massú
and González once again play for their country during the
Davis Cup World Group Play-Offs against Japan in Massú's
home city of Viña del Mar.
