Tennis Channel will carry all live action when ESPN2 and NBC aren't on air (after 10am most days).  Just like last year, NBC's coverage will overlap cable coverage on the 3 days they've recently added coverage (May 25, May 26, June 5).  

French Open currently plans to have a roof over the main court by 2018.  There is rain in the forecast the first week.

NBC uses their own cameras and replays on the 2 biggest courts.  Everything else (including all cable coverage) comes from the host feed.

ESPN2 will sometimes stay on past 10am to show the conclusion of the game in progress.
