On-Air Talent
Hall of Famers Martina Navratilova (@Martina) and Tracy Austin (@thetracyaustin) are part of Tennis Channel’s Roland-Garros on-air team this year. Navratilova will offer match analysis from the event where she won 11 titles during her illustrious career: two singles (1982, 1984), seven doubles (1975, 1982, 1984-1988) and two mixed doubles (1974, 1985). Two-time major champion Austin, who remains the youngest US Open winner ever, reached the Roland-Garros singles quarterfinals in 1982-1983. She will share her thoughts on this year’s edition during Tennis Channel Live at Roland-Garros.
Former Players Chanda Rubin (@Chanda\Rubin) and Paul Annacone (@paul\annacone) will also provide analysis on Tennis Channel Live at Roland-Garros. In 1996, Rubin took the Australian Open doubles championship, a feat Annacone had accomplished 11 years prior.
