Jokes (2-1), not without a congruous dose of regrets, on the field. Victorious on TV. On a par with Chelsea-Psg, the Club World Championship final. And “Second” only to his majesty Jannik Sinner, dominant of this summer before the commentaries thanks to the two Slam finals played – with opposite results – at Roland Garros and Wimbledon against Carlos Alcaraz. The bitter tears of the blue, defeats at the sunset of extra time in the European semifinal with the British, outgoing champions, have laughed the screens. More than four million viewers on average – 4,077,000 to be precise with 27.4 percent of the share -, in fact, they witnessed the challenge between Italy of Andrea Soncin and the lionesse: the match dominated the listening to the first evening.

podium

In particular, the first half had a follow -up of three million and 743 thousand spectators and 22.8 percent of share, while the second recorded 4 million and 412 thousand spectators and 28.9 percent share. Finally, the extra times made the share bar fly over 32 percent (32.3 percent) and held in front of the TV four million and 4 thousand spectators. Italy-England thus stands in second place among the most seen games on television. The quarter-final remains in the lead against Holland in the 2019 World Cup. That challenge, won (2-0) from the Dutch, collected 5 million and 223 thousand in front of the televisions with a share of 37.9 percent in the early afternoon of Saturday 29 June. Without forgetting that, in the resumption of the unfortunate challenge of the blue, Oranje, The listening touched 40.3 percent share with 5,360,000 spectators.

comparison

But to better understand the great media success obtained by the Italian football, there is the comparison of the ratings with the final between PSG and Chlesea (won 0-3 by the British), held on July 13 and view on TV (on Canale 5) from an average 4,086,000 people with a share of 26.7 percent: “only” 9 thousand more than Italy-England.

His Majesty

Ingiocabile (or almost) on the field, Jannik Sinner also remains a leader on TV. His triumph in Wimbledon of 13 July – from 5pm on Sky Sport Uno, Sky Sport Tennis, Sky Sport 4k And TV8 – It was seen by 5 million and 670 thousand average spectators with 40.4 percent of share and 11 million and 407 thousand unique contacts. A month and a half ago, on June 8, the legendary final of Roland Garros, lost by Sinner against Alcaraz after five hours and 29 minutes of battle – began with 3.6 million viewers, but made an average of five million, with almost four out of ten televisions on Nine and Eurosport. Of course, the most viewed tennis match on TV in Italy remains Sinner-Djokovic, final of the ATP Finals 2023, with 6.7 million spectators. But it must be remembered that that challenge was transmitted by Raiuno (as well as from Sky). And it lasted less than two hours. Maintaining an average of five million spectators for five and a half hours on a summer afternoon is however a business. Historical.
