MSC Sports announces 2025 Roland Garros (French Open) coverage plans

MSC Sports revealed today its coverage schedule for the 2025 Roland Garros tournament. MSC Sports will exclusively present first ball to last ball coverage all tournament along. MSC Sports will present this coverage in partnership with MSC Sport in Australia and MSC Outdoor in Canada.

To accomplish this, MSC Sports will utalize 12 on-site commentary crews on each court. Bill Macatee, Mary Carillo and reporter Lauren Stern will be the lead broadcast team. The lead studio team will be Max Kellerman, James Blake and Mike David. Mike Smith will be an alternate host, alongside alternate analysts Sam Stern and Duke Wilk.

MSC Sports will present several distinct feeds across its networks. Every court, at every level, will stream individually all tournament long through MSC Sports Extra. These feeds will be distinct to the court, with one commentary team, and will simulcast whiparound coverage during match breaks. Court Philippe-Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen will have these feeds simulcast on MSC+2 during select windows. 

During select windows, MSC or MSC+ will feature whiparound coverage. This coverage will be led by Steve Lowhart, alongside John McEnroe and Venus Williams. This coverage will feature quad, triple, and double box coverage of important matches across different courts. This will be presented with limited commercial interruption by Rolex.

Mid-week highlight coverage on MSC will be the best way to catch up on the day's action. The studio team will show the best moments from morning matches, featuring interviews, breakdowns. No match-breaks!

Other coverage on MSC, MSC+ and MSC+2 will be standard coverage.

1) Bill Macatee, Mary Carillo, Lauren Stern
