So, if I'm working while these are played live and can't watch streams, am I pretty much screwed over? Tape NBC and only get to watch one of them?

OH, let me spare you the suspense then. Rafa and Novak in the final.

Okay, so if I set up my DVR for TC all morning and NBC (despite the gap on the West Coast), I should have it all waiting for me when I get home? Fingers crossed!

(NBC will stream Nole/Fed - live, and free)


No Waiting for French Open Men’s Semis
June 2, 2011, 11:11 AM ET

NBC will add live Internet streaming to its broadcast of the men’s French Open semifinals this Friday for the first time, according to a network spokesman.

The move follows complaints in recent years from tennis fans who could only see tape-delayed tennis following the network’s Today Show, depending on the length of the matches and the time zone.

This year, Tennis Channel will broadcast the first semifinal between defending champion Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, which begins at 8 a.m. ET. NBC will broadcast the second men’s semifinal—between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic—in its entirety on NBCSports.com, according to Adam Freifeld, a network spokesman. The network will begin its television coverage at 11 a.m. in all time zones, after the Today Show, Freifeld said.

On the East Coast, NBC will begin live coverage at 11 ET. If the Nadal-Murray match is still in progress, NBC will begin its coverage there. (Freifeld said the Tennis Channel would be allowed to complete its broadcast regardless.) If the Federer-Djokovic match is in progress, NBC will join it in progress. It will stream that match live in its entirety on NBCSports.com in any case, Freifeld said.

The combination of Internet and television broadcasts likely will still leave many viewers on the West Coast without live tennis on their televisions. At 11 a.m. in California, the day’s matches could well be over in Paris. If the matches are completed, viewers in the western U.S. would see the Federer-Djokovic match on tape delay.

The contest between Federer and Djokovic is the most anticipated of the season. Djokovic has yet to lose a match this year in 41 tries, and he’ll be guaranteed to overtake the No. 1 ranking after this tournament if he beats Federer, even if he fails to win the title. Federer hasn’t won a major title since the 2010 Australian Open but is in fine form so far this tournament – he hasn’t lost a set.

In past years, NBC has upset tennis viewers who have watched the majority of the French Open live on other networks, and then missed two of the event’s most important—and often compelling—matches. In 2009, NBC broadcast a condensed match while a semifinal between Roger Federer, then in search of his first French Open title, and Juan Martin del Potro was ongoing. Federer’s thrilling victory wasn’t broadcast until later that afternoon on Tennis Channel on tape delay.

I can't stand the thought of watching such an anticipated match on a livestream. Would much rather watch it on a big screen, so my schedule for tomorrow here in Cali:

Wake up at 5AM to watch Rafa/Murray.
At its conclusion go back to sleep.
Wake up at 11AM, avoid TAT and watch Fed/Nole on TV.

Woot! I am SO looking forward to these semis!!

[new-nickname-zanovo]

Also, in a case of a mixed blessing... my hot water tank burst last night, so I have to stay home and wait for the plumber in the morning! Yay, live semis! Only cost me a thousand bucks...

Is there a free livestream for the Nadal - Murray match right now?

[Lunims]

I'm watching on this stream http://www.fromsportcom.com/v-2/6/174/v-277577.html.

Murray started off with a bang! He held serve easily, but he was extremely aggressive doing it. This could be a fun match.

They're wearing the exact same colors. Both have a blue shirt and white shorts. I'm annoyed. Luckily Murray has a white hat so I don't have to constantly pay attention to which guy is right and left handed in order to know what's happening.

Hey Charlie, did you know today is Rafa's birthday. Which means he is a fellow Gemini! Yay! And shares a birthday with Tscott!

Merci beaucoup! It drives me nuts when they wear the same colors too
