As the Australian Open is in full swing, the world’s attention is firmly on Melbourne - on the atmosphere, the tension, and the moments that define the season’s first Grand Slam.
From the first player walk-on to the final point, music plays a defining role in how tennis is experienced on screen.
At Universal Production Music, we’re proud to be the official soundtrack partner of Tennis Australia, providing music that underpins coverage, promos, highlights, and digital content across Australian tennis - including the Australian Open.
For editors and producers, the right track doesn’t just support the visuals. It shapes tension, controls pace, and amplifies emotion in a sport where momentum can change in a single rally.
Why music matters in tennis coverage
Tennis is a sport of contrasts: explosive rallies followed by near silence. Music helps bridge those moments, guiding the viewer through tension, release, and reflection.
Used effectively, music can:
- Control pace and energy
- Create continuity across coverage
- Strengthen emotional impact
- Help moments linger beyond the final point
Curated by music experts, built for tennis
To support Australian Open coverage, our music experts worked with Tennis Australia to curate dedicated playlists specifically for tennis broadcast and digital use.
Each playlist focuses on structure, flexibility, and momentum, making it easier for editors to find tracks that cut cleanly and enhance the story without overpowering the action. Check out a selection below:
