How to Watch the 2022 French Open Live Online Without Cable
Tennis returns to the red clay of Roland Garros for the 2022 French Open. While this event was normally an automatic win for tennis great Rafael Nadal, he enters the field not as the favorite for the first time since 2015. That honor goes to world No. 1 Novak Djokovic. On the women’s side, top-ranked Iga Swiatek is the overwhelming favorite. Live coverage of the 2022 French Open starts on Sunday, May 22, at 5 a.m. ET on Tennis Channel, which is available with 50% OFF your Sling TV subscription.

With his 2022 Australian Open title, Nadal set the all-time record with 21 career men’s singles Grand Slam titles.
