DIRECTV To Offer Over 350 Hours of French Open Interactive Service

DIRECTV’s exclusive French Open Interactive service is returning to American television screens on Sunday.

Offered in HD for the first time this year, fans can simultaneously view up to six live matches, including the featured match on the Tennis Channel or ESPN2 (also both available in HD), highlight each cell to listen to the live audio feed, and tune to each match full screen.

On each court channel viewers will have instant access to live scores, a look at current and upcoming matches, match results and the men’s and women’s draw.

Offering more than 350 hours of coverage, the full DIRECTV Interactive™ service will be available during the first eight days of tournament play at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris, from May 24 through May 31.

Interactive features will continue to be available during live coverage on the networks June 1 through June 4.

Tennis fans also now have access to French Open programming on DIRECTV On Demand. A preview of the event provides a guide to players to watch, current rankings and a variety of other information to enhance fans’ enjoyment of the tournament.

During the event, on-demand will feature a program of daily highlights that will include the best rallies and shots of the day and a focus on how featured players are faring in tournament play.
