Welcome to week 16 of the 2023 season, and we are knee deep in the red clay now! Both tours have moved over to the European red clay with the WTA kicking off the perennial indoor favorite tournament in Stuttgart. The ATP will be returning to Barcelona and Munich, and will be in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina for the first time for the Srpska Open ( this event takes the place of the prior 250 in Belgrade).
Coverage will look familiar for us, with Tennis Channel airing all four tournaments, with TC Plus and TennisTV streaming. Stuttgart also has streaming page on its website where you can stream practice courts. You can check out the full guides below. In addition, check out the special edition of the newsletter with some photos from live tennis watching at the Credit One Charleston Open last week!

A new week, a new two week master 1000s event! Rome will kick off this week, debuting its two week schedule this year. Coverage will look similar to past weeks with Tennis Channel airing first to last ball coverage, with TC Plus and Tennis TV streaming the event. Check out the full guide, with links below.
In broadcasting news, it was announced earlier this month that Tennis Channel will be returning to YouTube TV. As many remember, Tennis Channel was abruptly removed from YouTube TV a few years ago, so subscribers will be pleased to see it return to the service!

TENNIS WATCHERS
MAY 21
Whew! After nearly 4 weeks of back to back 1000 level events we find ourselves one week out from the second major of the year. This means lots of events going on this week as players look to fine tune their games heading into Paris. The ATP will be in Geneva and Lyon this week, with the WTA in Rabat and Strasbourg. In addition, we have the Roland Garros Qualifying event kicking off as well. Lets hope the weather doesn’t cause the problems we say the last few weeks as we have lots of matches to catch this week!
Coverage will continue to be primarily on Tennis Channel with TC Plus and Tennis TV streaming. A quick reminder as we head into Roland Garros, coverage has historically been a bit jumpy between NBC, Tennis Channel, and now streaming on Peacock. Last year, we did have time slots where live matches were only on Peacock plus which is 5 dollars a month. If interested, sign up early to avoid any last minute hassle.
