On Monday, Tennis Channel began coverage of this year’s French Open, streaming every men’s and women’s qualifier match on its digital subscription service Tennis Channel Plus. From this week through the end of the tournament, the network will stream 700 hours from Roland Garros.
For the first time ever, viewers can tune in to watch all 196 men’s and women’s qualifiers. Those matches are being held this week, while the main draw starts on May 27 and runs through Jun. 10. Each qualifying match is available on TCP with a few being broadcast live on television. Calling the action are tennis Hall of Famers Martina Navratilova, Jim Courier, Tracy Austin and Lindsay Davenport.
