So it’s just a schedule… but why is it so early like 5am??
I don’t even know what Roland Garros is but tennis at 5 a.m.?? That’s criminal lol. Also they said Monday but half of it says Tuesday??
Wait it says Tennis Channel at 5 a.m. twice? Like same rounds both times? Maybe they’re just repeating the same match highlights and calling it “Round of 16” again.
This article lost me when it started talking about soccer “culminating late in the evening.” Culminating means ending, right? So like… does MLB happen before or after the French Open? My TV guide always lies anyway.
