Roland Garros 2014 Starts Sunday!


Ah...clay court season.

Roland Garros 2014 is our second grand slam of the year. After a three month hiatus, we're back into grand slam mode.

It's no surprise that defending men's singles champion (and clay court legend) Rafa Nadal is the #1 seed in the men's singles. Last year, he disposed fellow countryman David Ferrer in three sets in the final at RG's. Serena Williams is the top seed in the women's singles draw.

In the US, NBC, Tennis Channel and ESPN with live or same day coverage, depending on network. DIRECTV should also have the mix channel as well. For best results, Radio RG's (on their website) is great. Try it.
