The tennis balls may bounce slower on the red clay of Roland Garros Stadium, but the DIRECTV 2015 French Open Experience will be a lot faster for fans who want quick stats and access to more tennis action through DIRECTV’s bonus coverage of early round matches of the French Open May 24-31.

Along with faster performance times, French Open fans this year will get more info on the top ten players, including the number of titles and best French Open finishes over a new, more dynamic background design.

DIRECTV offers expanded HD coverage of the tournament every year in partnership with Tennis Channel and ESPN during the event’s first eight days – only on DIRECTV. The broadcasts begin each day at 5 a.m. (ESPN) and 10:00 a.m. ET (Tennis Channel).

In addition to featuring up to six live matches at the same time on the French Open Mix Channel (Ch. 701), the “Dynamic Mix” feature will enlarge each screen size of the remaining matches as others conclude. Also returning this year is a Twitter feed for social commentary on each match; a ticker at the bottom of the mix screen providing real-time scores, commentary and messages; a new look and feel for the interactive app and broadband enabled features displaying complete tournament draws for Men’s, Women’s, Mix Doubles and player head shots (available to broadband connected customers only).

Viewers can press the RED remote button to access an interactive menu of features -while watching any of the bonus channels – that include:

‧ My Players – tag their favorite players and see bio information, match schedule and results

‧ Player Bio – for bio information, or add a player to their favorites list

‧ Match Schedule: Scores from matches in progress on the court channels (Channels 703-707), plus the schedule for upcoming matches.

‧ Recent results: Real-time scores for both in-progress and completed matches.

‧ Men’s and Women’s Draws: A complete round-by-round chart that shows which players are still in competition and how they got there.

The French Open Experience is the second of four Grand Slam tennis events that DIRECTV will offer this year at no extra charge for customers. Combining multiple video feeds and interactive TV technology, DIRECTV’s tennis and golf coverage is designed to give the true fan a totally

immersive viewing experience.

Editors Note: Good luck. Personally I’ve tried to set this up for years with little or no success. First my equipment wasn’t digital. The next year it was outdated. The next year I can’t remember. But like poor Charlie Brown waiting for his big pumpkin, maybe one day I will really see all the above mentioned. ( LS)
