Watch the French Open on a Massive 14-Foot Screen in Front of the Reagan Building

The Tennis Channel will be broadcasting the French Open all week long in the heart of D.C.

Tennis, anyone?

The French Open (Roland Garros) is taking place in Paris this week, and you can watch all the action on a giant 14-foot screen at the Woodrow Wilson Plaza in front of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center starting today.

It's the 10th anniversary of the Tennis Channel's coverage of the French Open, and so the channel has partnered with Trade Center Management Associates at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center to create the first public viewing space in the United States dedicated to the tournament, according to a statement.

The screen will broadcast live coverage of the French Open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from May 23-27.
