Does anyone know where I can watch French open live in Taipei? Any sports bar? All the sports channels here (via cable) don’t even have tennis on. :fume:
Same complaint every year. All the sports bars carry it but not many want to watch it.
We had a full house and garden for the men’s final!

Pity as Taiwan did quite well:
Taiwan’s young tennis player Tsung-Hua Yang who won the junior boys singles title at the French Open makes history not only in Taiwan but also in Asia, an proud official of the Chinese Taipei Tennis Association said here Sunday.
The official said Yang who beat Poland's 12th seed Jerzy Jankowicz 6-3, 7-6(7/5) to win the title earlier that day in Paris, is Taiwan's first player ever win a title at the Grand Slam tennis tournaments.
Yang broke Taiwan players' best record in Grand Slam hold by him when he made it to the final in the junior boys final at the Australian Open in January this year, and by another player Yeu Tzuoo Wang who made it to the final in the junior boys singles of the U.S. Open in 2001, the official said.
Yang is also the first Asian player ever won any title at the Grand Slam since Indian player Leander Paes won the junior boys singles title at the U.S. Open in 1991, said the official.

Lovely for you. But what a boring final.
And a sad end really and then when I was hoping I would at least hear the Swiss anthem after Kubica won his first GP, I realized that the BMW-Sauber team contests with a German license.
