Tennis Channel will sprint into the holiday season with a two-week rebroadcast of the 2013 French Open Set to begin at 12 p.m. ET Sunday, Dec. 1, “Roland Garros Redux: Paris for the Holidays” will include daily matches followed by evening wrap-up and interview show French Open Tonight.

Other than holiday-themed opens each day, Tennis Channel’s December French Open telecast will air largely as it first appeared on the network from May 26-June 7. Match coverage will begin at 12 p.m. ET most days, followed by back-to-back segments of French Open Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, hosted by Bill Macatee.

In all, ‘Roland Garros Redux: Paris for the Holidays’ will offer 175 hours of French Open-related coverage, including the epic, five-set men’s semifinal match between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal that is considered by many to be the match of the 2013 tennis season (December 13, 8 p.m. ET).

Serena Williams’ return to the pinnacle of clay-court success in her singles final against defending-champion Maria Sharapova is also part of the holiday schedule (December 14, 8 p.m. ET).
