How to watch French Open 2025: live stream tennis online from anywhere, seeds, schedule
Defending champions Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz have a target on their backs at Roland Garros. Swiatek has won the French Open three times in a row, but is completely out of form, whereas Alcaraz has a reinvigorated Jannik Sinner and title-starved Novak Djokovic on his tail.
You can watch Australian Open 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
The 2025 French Open runs from Sunday, May 25 to Sunday, June 8. Full schedule below.► Daily start time: 5 a.m. ET / 2 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. BST / 7 p.m. AEST► FREE STREAM — 9Now (Australia)► U.S. — TNT and TruTV via Sling TV / Max► U.K. — Discovery+► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free
Having failed to win a title all year, Swiatek has been handed a tough draw. Not only is she on the same side as Aryna Sabalenka, but in order to face the world No.1 she may first need to beat Emma Raducanu, Marta Kostyuk, 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko and 2024 finalist Jasmine Paolini, who's just won the Italian Open.
Only one of Coco Gauff, Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula can reach the final, while Zheng Qinwen carries a threat despite recent form, having won Olympic gold at Roland Garros last year.
Paris 2024 was the highlight of Djokovic's year, and after contending five slams without success, that record-breaking 25th major is proving infuriatingly elusive — but it's keeping the 38-year-old going. Sinner's back from a three-month doping suspension, and the break seems to have done him good. He cruised to the Italian Open final on his return, but of course fell short to the hands of World Number 2, Alcaraz.

16 straight wins: Alcaraz powers on at Queen's Club
Carlos Alcaraz has overcome another tricky obstacle at the Queen's Club Championship as the top-seeded Spaniard dispatched France's Arthur Rinderknech with little fuss 7-5 6-4 to reach the semi-finals. Wimbledon champion Alcaraz toiled for three hours in stifling heat on Thursday to edge past fellow Spaniard Jaume Munar in a titanic scrap and afterwards admitted he did not know how he was still standing. It was far more straightforward against unseeded Rinderknech, the player he also beat in his opening match two years ago when he went on to win the title at the prestigious Wimbledon warm-up event in west London. Listen to that connection 💥@QueensTennis | #HSBCChampionships | @carlosalcaraz — ATP Tour (@atptour) June 20, 2025 The 22-year-old converted each of his two break points on another sweltering Friday as he extended his sequence of match wins to a career-long 16. "I could be better. Honestly I was thinking I was going to feel much worse than I did today," five-time grand slam champion Alcaraz said on court. "I'm glad it was only one hour 20 minutes today." Britain's Jack Draper also continued his Wimbledon build-up successfully as he reached the semi-finals at Queen's for the first time with a 6-4 5-7 6-4 defeat of American Brandon Nakashima. Draper not only kept himself on track for the prestigious ATP 500 title, but also secured the win that guarantees a top-four seeding at Wimbledon where he will be the big home hope. The 23-year-old was fully tested by world No.32 Nakashima and his powerful game began to misfire as he lost the second set on the Andy Murray Arena. But Draper settled back into the groove in the deciding set and broke serve in the seventh game with one of his trademark forehand pile drivers. The left-hander had to save a break point when serving for the match at 5-4 but recovered to seal victory and set up a clash with Czech Jiri Lehecka, the conqueror of Alex de Minaur who had earlier on Friday beaten Britain's Jacob Fearnley 7-5 6-2. "It means the world to me to reach the semi-finals here," said Draper, bidding to become the first British player to win the title at the prestigious west London club since Murray won for a record fifth time in 2016. "I think there's going to be an even bigger buzz at the weekend and that will give me more energy to keep progressing." "Delicious from @jackdraper0" 🤤@QueensTennis | #HSBCChampionships — ATP Tour (@atptour) June 20, 2025 While being ranked fourth means Draper will avoid either defending champion Alcaraz or world No.1 Jannik Sinner until the semi-finals at Wimbledon, Draper shrugged off its significance. "I kept getting asked about that by the journalists but I've got to reach the semi-finals first," he said. Alcaraz will face either fourth seed Holger Rune or Spanish veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in the semi-final.

Stanley Cup Final averaged 2.5M US viewers, a drop from last year's Cup and the 4 Nations final
U.S. television ratings for the Stanley Cup Final rematch between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers declined from their first matchup a year ago. An average of 2.5 million viewers watched on TNT, with 2.8 million tuning in for the Panthers' series-clinching Game 6 victory. The overall number on cable is down from 4.17 million last year when the final was on over-the-air TV on ABC and the lowest since Tampa Bay versus Montreal in 2021. The share of viewers increased 15% from TNT's first Cup final in 2023 when Vegas defeated Florida. Social media engagements on NHL content were up 32% over the course of the playoffs. An average of 3.8 million viewers watched the final in Canada on Sportsnet, with Connor McDavid looking for his first championship. The 1.8 million on average for the playoffs, which included five out of the 16 teams involved being based in Canada, is a 6% increase from a year ago. Ratings for the Cup final were significantly lower than the 4 Nations Face-Off in February, the return of international competition featuring the NHL's best players. The final between the U.S. and Canada was watched by 9.3 million people in the U.S. and 10.7 million in Canada, after the six round-robin games averaged 4.6 million in North America.
