TNT Sports aims to explode Roland Garros coverage to a wider television audience.
The network has assembled a star-studded roster filled with former Grand Slam champions to meet the mission.
n June 2024, TNT Sports, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery, reached a 10-year, $650 million agreement with the French Tennis Federation to add Roland-Garros to its portfolio of premium sports rights in the U.S. TNT Sports touts its deal – building on Eurosport’s 35-year relationship with Roland-Garros – as making Warner Bros. Discovery “the largest global broadcast partner to Roland-Garros and will bring fans the most comprehensive coverage of the prestigious event ever in the United States.”
Hall of Famers John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, Lindsay Davenport, Jim Courier, Chrissie Evert, Mats Wilander and Boris Becker — winners of nearly 100 tennis Grand Slams (Singles, Doubles and Mixed) — will bring a wealth of experience and championship-level insights to TNT Sports’ and Eurosport’s coverage across all platforms reaching a global audience.
Venus Williams, seven-time Grand Slam champion, will also contribute to TNT Sports’ Roland-Garros coverage, hosting a series of special features highlighting “the rich history of the clay court tournament and the intersection of the sport of tennis and Parisian culture.”
The Venus Williams-hosted features will run within TNT Sports’ coverage of the event.
TNT’s Roland Garros broadcast team is listed here:
Additionally, Patrick McEnroe will contribute play-by-play, hosting (whiparound action, at times, on truTV) and match and studio analysis throughout the event.
He will be joined by a slate of veteran sportscasters anchoring the action in Paris including play-by-play announcers Brian Anderson, Alex Faust and Mark Petchey (who will also host whiparound coverage on truTV in addition to his play-by-play responsibilities). Adam Lefkoe will host TNT’s studio coverage on site in Paris.
TNT Sports’ U.S. coverage of Roland Garros, all originating live from Paris, begins Sunday, May 25, on TNT, truTV and Max. Daily coverage is scheduled to start at 6 a.m. Eastern Time.
Tennis Channel will rebroadcast encore presentations of the day’s play nightly at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
