Tennis fans, get ready for an even bigger and better French Open experience. TNT Sports has just announced an expanded lineup for its 2026 Roland-Garros coverage, and it's stacked with both legends and fresh faces.
Venus Williams and John Isner are stepping up their game. After contributing pre-taped segments last year, Venus will now be live in the studio for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and women's final. Meanwhile, Isner—who had only spot appearances in 2025—will be a regular presence throughout the entire tournament. It's a natural fit: both players know what it takes to compete at the highest level on clay, and their insights will give fans a true insider's perspective.
They're joining an already impressive roster. Returning analysts include Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Lindsay Davenport, Jim Courier, Caroline Wozniacki, Patrick McEnroe, Chris Eubanks, Sloane Stephens, CoCo Vandeweghe, Sam Querrey, and Mary Joe Fernandez. And there's a new addition: Genie Bouchard is joining the team, bringing her own Grand Slam final experience to the table.
On the play-by-play side, Brian Anderson and Alex Faust will be back in the booth, while Adam Lefkoe, Patrick McEnroe, and Mark Petchey anchor the studio coverage (Petchey will also call some matches).
Why the star-studded lineup? Craig Barry, EVP and chief talent officer at TNT Sports, explained the vision: "When we had the opportunity to present Roland-Garros, I really wanted to push tennis coverage into the 21st Century. I believed it was ready for a little bit of a jumpstart." He emphasized the importance of bringing in players who have recently competed—athletes who have literally stood across the net from today's stars. That's why you'll see the likes of Querrey, Eubanks, Stephens, and Wozniacki in the mix. "You inject a certain amount of energy and enthusiasm into the tournament," Barry said. "And of course, you have the icons and legends along with that … The energy became infectious, and people felt a renewal."
One of the biggest coups? Landing Andre Agassi. Despite being one of the most iconic figures in tennis history, Agassi has been relatively elusive in media appearances over the past two decades. According to Barry, it wasn't about the money. "It really wasn't a money thing with Andre," he shared. "We do our s—" (the implication being that the pitch was about passion and the vision for the broadcast).
After a critically acclaimed debut in 2025, TNT's coverage of the French Open is shaping up to be must-watch TV. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love great sports storytelling, this is one Grand Slam you won't want to miss.
