Seeds are scattering and ratings rising during Roland Garros week one.

Host broadcaster TNT reports a double-digit ratings increase from its 2025 Roland Garros debut coverage.

Through Day 8 of action—Sunday, May 24th through Sunday, May 31st—TNT’s average audience share is up 25% vs. its 2025 coverage.

The network’s third-round viewership on Friday and Saturday increased 33% vs. 2025.

Massive upsets have given a major boost to TNT’s week one audience.

The question is: Will finals weekend, without the star power of world No. 1s Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner and 2025 champions Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz, captivate American audiences this week as the 2025 finals did?

Among the highlights, from TNT’s news release on week one ratings, is here:

Top matches from the weekend included:
Joao Fonseca-Novak Djokovic (Friday, 5/29 – viewership peaked at 872k viewers on TNT at 2:30-3 p.m. ET)
Coco Gauff-Anastasia Potapova (Saturday, 5/30 – viewership peaked at 1 million viewers on TNT at 1:30-2 p.m. ET)
Casper Ruud-Joao Fonseca (Sunday, 5/31 – viewership peaked at 847k viewers at 5:30-6 p.m. ET)
On HBO Max, total hours viewed of Roland-Garros in the US is up 30% vs. 2025, with hours viewed via Multiview up 127% vs. 2025.
