January 26, 2008 - The 2008 Australian Open comes to a close on Sunday, and so does Nintendo’s Wii Championships, which have been running for the duration of the event at Nintendo’s tent, with the aim of finding the ultimate Wii Sports tennis champion to compete against tennis ace Mark Philippoussis.

Nintendo Australia ran a promotion on Mix 106.5 mornings this week with Sonia Kruger and Todd McKenny, and one lucky listener was given the chance to go to the Australian Open in style, competing head-to-head with Philippoussis, Kruger and McKenny in Wii Sports tennis on the big screen.

The showdown will take place on Sunday, January 27, at 5.15pm at Garden Square inside Melbourne Park, and prior to that, the two lucky - and undoubtedly well-versed - winners from the Wii Championships will duke it out on the big screen to decide the champion, who’ll then team up with Philippoussis, against Kruger and McKenny.
