Looks like they might be leaving the night match to Stan again but great to have coverage all night on FTA

ROLAND GARROS 2023
BEGINS SUNDAY ON 9GEMHD AND STAN SPORT
The stars of world tennis hit the famous red clay of Roland Garros when the second Grand Slam tournament of the year begins this Sunday, May 28, live and free on 9GemHD and 9Now from 6.30pm.
In the 127th edition of Roland Garros in Paris, Nine’s exclusive coverage will showcase 15 days of competition for free, with the action also available to stream ad-free, live and on-demand on Stan Sport, with select matches available in 4K.
Calling the action on Nine’s Wide World of Sports will be Roz Kelly, Todd Woodbridge, Jelena Dokic, Samantha Stosur, Brenton Speed and tennis expert Brett Phillips.
After his shock win at the Italian Open last week, Daniil Medvedev has overtaken Novak Djokovic in the rankings, leaving Djokovic with the possibility of being drawn on the same side as Spanish sensation and World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka will be primed for another display of power and precision when she goes hunting against women’s world No.1 Iga Świątek, of Poland, who is chasing her third Roland Garros title.
The Australian contingent is headed by Alex de Minaur who is ranked 19 in the world. Viewers will also be eagerly following our highest ranked female, Ajla Tomljanović.
Other players flying the Aussie flag include Jason Kubler, Alexei Popyrin, Chris O’Connell, Max Purcell, Jordan Thompson, plus the wildcards Thanasi Kokkinakis and Kimberly Birrell.

So has Nine only got coverage on Gem this year with no extra streams on 9 now?
Yeah, usual coverage. Stan is available if you want to pick what court you want

You can still live stream the court Nine are showing and Nine’s main channel as broadcast (locally) though.

I think at least Wimbledon (outside our domestic summer) Nine usually switch to main channel don’t they, later in the night say after NRL? However not sure what impact Ashes will have. I’d expect, if times allow and player dependant, in markets where there’s just movies or ob docs tennis / sports would get main channel treatment (Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth).

Interesting to see they’ve put most Aussie games on Stan Sport
Loving the commentary by Brenton Speed

Has he signed with 9? Looks like he has left FOX because he’s been doing NRL for 9 too
From what I can gather, he joined Nine in April and his first assignment (if that’s the right word for it) was calling the Cowboys vs Dolphins match that same month.
He could come in handy come next year’s Australian Open and Paris Olympics.
