How to watch French Open 2021 tennis: TV channel and live stream
Check out our comprehensive guide to the French Open 2021 including schedule, dates, TV and live stream details.
It's been a tremendous French Open full of incredible upsets and one or two matches that will go down in history – and it all comes to a conclusion today.
After his incredible victory over King of Clay Rafael Nadal in an epic tie on Friday night, Novak Djkokovic will aim to win his second Roland Garros crown – and his first for five years – in the Men's final against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The Greek No.5 seed has played extremely well so far this year and has already defeated Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev on his way to his first Grand Slam final, so it's all set to be an extremely good contest.
Before that, though, we have the Women's Doubles final to look forward to – and following her incredible win in the singles yesterday Barbora Krejcikova is back on court with her partner Katerina Siniaková.
Standing in their way is the No.14 seed pairing of Iga Swiatek, the rising star who won the singles title last year, and Bethanie Mattek-Sands, an American doubles legened who will be hoping to win the tenth Grand Slam title of her career.
