        Last June, TNT Sports sealed a monumental 10-year, $650 million deal with the French Tennis Federation, bringing Roland Garros into its premium sports portfolio in the U.S. This partnership builds upon Eurosport’s impressive 35-year relationship with the tournament.

        TNT Sports is poised to deliver “the most extensive coverage” ever of Roland Garros in the United States, cementing Warner Bros. Discovery as the largest global broadcast partner for this prestigious event.

        Venus, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, made her Roland Garros debut back in 1997, where she reached the second round. She famously advanced to the final in 2002 but faced her sister Serena Williams, losing 7-5, 6-3—marking the beginning of Serena’s legendary “Serena Slam.”

        With seven major singles titles to her name, Venus last competed at Roland Garros in 2021. Her latest appearance was at the 2023 US Open, and she faced Diana Shnaider in the opening round of the 2024 Miami Open. Although she has not formally announced her retirement, she will celebrate her 45th birthday on June 17th.
