The 2013 French Open begins Sunday, but there is no such a thing as starting your planning too early. Want to know where to catch all the action live from your television? These are the channels to watch if you want to enjoy live action from your television.
NBC & ESPN2 will carry all the action beginning Sunday as the tournament is set to entertain millions around the world. The action will come non-stop as soon as it takes off Sunday, May 26 until June 9 when the Men's Singles wrap up all the action.
Now, because it's in France, the time schedule is going to be a little difficult to keep up with. The action begins at 11 a.m. in France, but ESPN 2 will be bringing the live action at 5 a.m. ET. NBC will be carrying the action later in the day starting at 12 p.m. ET.
Once the quarterfinals begin on Tuesday June 4 and Wednesday June 5, the action will begin three hours later, at 8 a.m. ET. Apparently, networks figured it would be too difficult for those in the Western Hemisphere to wake up and catch the live games. The semifinals will begin a little later Thursday, June 6 as the Women will take the court at 9 a.m. ET followed on Friday, June 7 with the Men taking the court at 7 a.m. ET.
The Finals will truly give the Western Hemisphere a chance to watch the live action as the tournament will air at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday for the Women's Final and Sunday for the Men's grand finale.
