Dan Hicks, Mary Carillo & John McEnroe to Call the Action Throughout NBC Sports’ French Open Coverage

STAMFORD, Conn. – September 22, 2020 – NBC Sports presents coverage of the 2020 French Open, beginning this Sunday, Sept. 27, live at Noon ET on NBC with the first round from Roland-Garros in Paris, France. Live coverage culminates with the women’s final on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 9 a.m. ET and the men’s final Sunday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m. ET on NBC.

Headlining the men’s competition is 19-time Grand Slam singles champion and World No. 2 Rafael Nadal, the “King of Clay,” who has won a record 12 French Open titles (2005-2008, 2010-2014, 2017-2019), including the past three at Roland-Garros. With a win in Paris, Nadal would tie Roger Federer for the all-time record with 20 career men’s singles Grand Slam titles. Nadal will be joined by 17-time Grand Slam singles champion and World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is still seeking his 18^th Grand Slam singles title following his US Open disqualification two weeks ago. Djokovic, who won his only French Open title in 2016, was undefeated in 2020 before his default. World No. 3 Dominic Thiem, who lost the last two French Open finals to Nadal, is coming off his first career Grand Slam title at the US Open.

On the women’s side, 23-time Grand Slam singles champion and No. 6 seed Serena Williams looks to tie Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles and capture her fourth French Open singles title at Roland-Garros. Williams will be joined by 2018 French Open champion and World No. 2 Simona Halep who’s the tournament’s top seed. Rising American stars include 2020 Australian Open winner and No. 4 seed Sofia Kenin and Jennifer Brady, coming off her best Grand Slam singles performance with a semifinalist finish at the 2020 US Open.

Dan Hicks handles play-by-play, joined by analysts Mary Carillo and John McEnroe, who teamed to win the mixed doubles title at the 1977 French Open. McEnroe is a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion.

Peacock will provide exclusive live coverage of third and fourth round French Open matches on Saturday, Oct. 3 thru Monday, Oct. 5. Upcoming live sports coverage on Peacock includes exclusive Premier League matches, an NFL Wild Card Playoff Game, and select coverage from the upcoming Tokyo and Beijing Olympics.

The renewed partnership between the USGA and NBC Sports elevates a long-standing relationship dating back to 1954, when the U.S. Open first aired on television (NBC), and most recently from 1995-2014, when NBC Sports carried media rights to all USGA championships.

NBCUniversal will present nearly 45 hours of live primary coverage of the 2020 U.S. Open across NBC, GOLF Channel and Peacock, beginning Thursday, Sept. 17. And, in continuation of the USGA’s extensive partnership with Rolex, the final hour of Sunday’s coverage on NBC will air uninterrupted (commercial-free) during the closing stretch of the championship.

“It is with great pride that NBC Sports welcomes the return of the U.S. Open to our portfolio in partnership with the USGA, to further elevate their slate of championships,” said Pete Bevacqua, president, NBC Sports Group. “Under a tight timeframe, our world-class production team is prepared to showcase the U.S. Open next month from famed Winged Foot Golf Club, capturing the drama of the world’s best vying for this year’s second major championship.”

“The USGA is excited to be back in the NBCUniversal family, including GOLF Channel and NBC’s Peacock platform, in providing extensive coverage of the U.S. Open Championship,” said USGA CEO Mike Davis. “A talented and knowledgeable group of broadcasters, including several USGA champions, and an experienced production team, led by Tommy Roy, will provide in-depth perspective on the championship and help us celebrate the greatness of the U.S. Open and the players who compete in it.”

COVERAGE OF THE U.S. OPEN ON PEACOCK: Across each of the four rounds, Peacock will exclusively stream two hours of live U.S. Open coverage for free. U.S. Open content on Peacock also will include featured groups and featured holes coverage across all four rounds, with additional content elements being announced in the coming weeks. NBCUniversal’s coverage of the U.S. Women’s Open later this year (Dec. 10-13) also will feature live programming on Peacock.

TOURNAMENT PRODUCTION & BROADCAST TEAM: Led by 29-time Emmy Award-winning producer Tommy Roy – along with NBC Sports’ producer Brandt Packer – the network’s U.S. Open production will utilize the deepest roster of broadcasters in golf, including five USGA champions: Kay Cockerill (1986, ’87 U.S. Women’s Amateur), Trevor Immelman (1998 U.S. Amateur Public Links), Peter Jacobsen (2004 U.S. Senior Open), Gary Koch (1970 U.S. Junior Amateur) and Justin Leonard (1992 U.S. Amateur).

U.S. OPEN BROADCAST TEAM (GOLF Channel, NBC & Peacock)

Tom Abbott, Paul Azinger, Notah Begay, Curt Byrum, Kay Cockerill,

Nick Faldo, David Feherty, Terry Gannon, Damon Hack, Dan Hicks, Trevor Immelman, Peter Jacobsen, Gary Koch, Justin Leonard, Jim “Bones” Mackay, Roger Maltbie, Jimmy Roberts, Steve Sands, Mike Tirico

FEHERTY, FALDO SET TO MAKE GOLF BROADCASTER HISTORY: In contributing to NBC Sports’ live coverage at Winged Foot, David Feherty and Nick Faldo each will join a select group of golf broadcasters having called action from all four men’s major championships. Feherty and Faldo also will become the only two broadcasters to have called professional golf’s four men’s major championships, THE PLAYERS Championship, Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, TOUR Championship and the Olympics.

NBC SPORTS’ SIGNATURE U.S. OPEN MUSIC, FULL-FIELD COVERAGE RETURN:

Viewers tuning in to coverage from Winged Foot will recognize a familiar musical refrain previously synonymous with NBC Sports’ coverage of the U.S. Open, as Yanni’s In Celebration of Man will be incorporated throughout the championship. Coverage additionally will aim to showcase each of the 144 players in the field, under the mantra that if a player is good enough to make it into the U.S. Open field, they deserve the opportunity to be shown on the broadcast.

COMPREHENSIVE NEWS COVERAGE: GOLF Channel’s Golf Central Live From the U.S. Open will provide comprehensive wraparound news coverage from on-site at Winged Foot Golf Club, with interviews, highlights and analysis, Monday-Sunday, Sept. 14-20.

Featured Peacock Originals

In Deep with Ryan Lochte

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ryan Lochte was at the center of a scandal that has since overshadowed a decorated swimming career that includes 12 Olympic medals. Now a 35-year-old husband and father of two young children, Lochte is hoping for one more chance to make Team USA and prove he’s not the same man he was four years ago.

Kamome

Brought together under unfortunate circumstances, the towns of Rikuzentakata, Japan and Crescent City, California now have a special bond made possible by a fishing boat named Kamome. The vessel washed up in Crescent City after the deadly 2011 tsunami that struck Japan and devastated Rikuzentakata. To the people of Crescent City, it brought back memories of the 1964 tsunami that devastated their own hometown. Now, the two communities have built a close connection that provides a welcome reminder of the best of humanity.

Olympic Documentaries

1968

Narrated by four-time Olympic gold medalist and 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams, 1968 tells the story of a defining year in American history. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated, and 1968 would prove to be the deadliest year of the Vietnam War. Against that backdrop, the Mexico City Olympics became a stage for the collision of sport and politics, immortalized by the Black Power salute of Americans Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

Calgary ‘88

Voiced by iconic actor and acclaimed author Rob Lowe, the men’s and ladies figure skating competition at the 1988 Winter Olympics are in the spotlight, featuring Americans Debi Thomas and Brian Boitano as they faced their rivals Katarina Witt and Brian Orser on the highest stage of competition.

Jessica Long

The remarkable story of 13-time Paralympic gold medal swimmer Jessica Long details how she discovered her birth family and embarked on a journey through a past she never knew, all the way from her adopted parents’ home in Baltimore, Md. to Bratsk, Russia. In the end, it leads Long to a profound personally discovery; how her two halves have helped make her the whole individual that she is.

More Than Gold: Jesse Owens and the 1936 Berlin Olympics

This hour-long documentary, narrated by Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman, chronicles Jesse Owens’ historic four-gold-medal performance at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, and explores the context and historical impact of those Games.

Dream Team

Featuring footage and interviews from arguably the greatest basketball team ever assembled, this documentary looks at the formation and success of Team USA at the 1992 Summer Olympics, including interviews with Hall of Fame players Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley.

Miracle on Ice: 40^th Anniversary

NBC Sports’ Mike Tirico and Al Michaels, who called men’s hockey at the 1980 Winter Olympics, engage in a wide-ranging conversation about the U.S. Olympic men’s ice hockey team’s gold-medal run at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y., highlighted by the Americans’ improbable semifinal victory against the Soviet Union.

Mikaela’s Masterpiece

The special gives viewers an all-access look at Mikaela Shiffrin and her team during the 2018-19 campaign and highlights one of the greatest years in the history of alpine ski racing, when Shiffrin won 17 World Cup races, four crystal globes, and her third straight overall globe.

Lokomotiv

A documentary, narrated by Liev Schreiber, that examines the 2011 plane crash that killed every member of the Lokomotiv Yaroslavol hockey team of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), and how the team was rebuilt in the wake of tragedy.

In addition to this Olympic and Paralympic content, Peacock will feature a range of sports content: exclusive Premier League matches, coverage of the U.S. Open Championship and Women’s Open Championships, an NFL Wild Card Playoff Game, the Tour de France, La Vuelta and select events from the upcoming Tokyo and Beijing Olympics.
