JUN 9

What a wild two weeks in Paris! The second slam of the year wrapped up earlier today with Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz winning the singles titles, Coco Gauff/Katerina Siniakova and Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic the doubles titles, and Edouard Roger-Vasselin/Laura Siegemund taking home the mixed trophy.

The 2024 French Open also marked the last that will aired live on Tennis Channel/NBC/Peacock. Forbes reported a deal with for Roland Garros to move over to TNT/TBS/Tru TV starting in 2025. It also appears the Max App will be used for streaming. This marks a major change in coverage for Roland Garros, but TNT has done quite well with its NBA and NCAA coverage so they are not new to airing live sports.

The tours keep moving though, and this week it is too a new surface. Grass court season kicks off with three events: Stuttgart (ATP), Nottingham (WTA), and the duel s-Hertogenbosch tournament. Coverage will be on Tennis Channel with TC Plus and and Tennis TV handling the streaming. Live tennis will kick off early morning, with replays occuring all afternoon and evening. You can check out the full guide below and enjoy the tennis!

We’ve got a trio of 500 level events and one 250 on the docket this week. The ATP will return to London and Halle (both 500s), and the WTA will be in Berlin (500) and Birmingham (250). It is only a few weeks before we hit the grounds of Wimbledon so draws are packed for all four events!

Coverage will still be on Tennis Channel and TC Plus, with Tennis TV also streaming ATP. You can check out the full guide below and enjoy the tennis!

Women's final seems to be building a more consistent audience the past few years, and the men's final, not surprisingly, builds an audience as the length of the match increases.

[ponchi101]

I see no other patterns, indeed.

TC isn’t showing Rogers Cup right now. Does anyone know if they will air it this week?

So here is the message I started getting last night from DirecTV when I switched to ESPN 2 to watch tennis. I get the same thing on ESPN as well today:

"Our contract with Disney, the owner of this channel, has expired. We appreciate your patience while we negotiate to offer you greater flexibility, choice, and value. Visit TVPromise.com for more information."

Main reason I decided to leave satellite and cable TV and started to stream. Disney and satellite/cable outfits wants to be the big dog by charging big money
