It's high spring at Paris' legendary Stade Roland Garros, which can mean only one thing, mes amis: The 2011 French Open tennis tournament is bearing down with all due speed. All the action is taking place a hemisphere away, but the time difference between France and the States (six hours' adjustment between Paris and Eastern Daylight Time, for those of you scoring at home) lends itself to less sleep disruption than following the Australian Open.
The matches will be televised on the Tennis Channel, ESPN2, and NBC; the Tennis Channel will also be streaming select matches online. The 2011 French Open singles TV schedule (subject as ever to weather delays and long-running matches) is as follows (all times EDT):
