Forget Novak Djokovic’s pursuit of the tennis grand slam, the race to capture the media’s version is over.
TV reporter Natalie Yoannidis is set to complete the Holy Grail when she moves to Channel 9 in the coming weeks.
The rising star’s career path has seen her spend time at the ABC, Fox Sports, Channel 10 and Channel 7 where she is currently part of the sports team.
Yoannidis was pencilled in to cover Abbey Gelmi’s maternity leave and read the weekend sports bulletin but instead she’s moved up the road to Nine.
She comes in as a replacement for popular reporter Ayrton Woolley who departed the network after 13 years last month.
Yoannidis’ grand slam journey started back in 2015 when she was a freelance journo with the ABC before she moved to Fox Sports in Sydney where she stayed for six years.
A move down to Melbourne saw her read the news at SEN before a 15-month stint at Channel 10. She moved to Seven in May last year.
TBH that is a hell of an achievement
Since being sacked by Fox Sports News in the space of 2 years she's gone through all the Melb commercial channels
