The second Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year is here with the 126th edition of Roland Garros in Paris, starting this Sunday live and free on 9Gem.
Our exclusive coverage commences at 6.30pm on 9Gem each night of the tournament.
Plus, all the action will be available to stream ad-free, live and on-demand on Stan Sport, with select matches in stunning 4K.
Calling the action on Channel 9 and 9Gem will be Roz Kelly, Todd Woodbridge, Sam Groth, Jelena Dokic and tennis expert Brett Phillips.
The red clay courts of Roland Garros will host the sport’s finest players. World No. 1 and defending champion, Novak Djokovic, is out to match 2022 Australian Open winner Rafael Nadal on 21 career Grand Slam wins and stop the Spaniard from claiming his 14th French Open title.
However, the men’s competition has rarely been hotter, with players like teen sensation and current world No. 6, 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, primed for his first Grand Slam victory. Alcaraz is in top form after beating both Djokovic and Nadal to win the recent Madrid Open.
New women’s world No.1 Iga Świątek, 20, from Poland, is chasing her second win at Roland Garros after winning in 2020.
The Australian men’s contingent is headed by Alex de Minaur who is ranked 22 in the world. Viewers will also be eagerly following our highest ranked female, Ajla Tomljanović, who made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year.
It all begins on Sunday, May 22, at 6.30pm on 9Gem.
