One week after Alexander Zverev's success at Roland Garros 2026, news related to the most irregular, unpredictable, and full of surprises Grand Slam of recent years continues to emerge. The absence of Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, coupled with the early exits of Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, left a men's main draw where the only attraction was Zverev. The German delivered, but his final against Flavio Cobolli did not interest the United States, as reported by Front Office Sports.

The Roland Garros final between Zverev and Cobolli had 25% fewer viewers than last year's final between Alcaraz and Sinner

This is confirmed by the ratings. The final between the German and the Italian averaged 1.3 million viewers on TNT Sports, the broadcaster of the tournament's TV rights in the United States. This represents the lowest number in a Roland Garros final in the North American country in 20 years. Furthermore, these figures mark a 25% drop compared to the viewership of last year's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

The women's final between Maja Chwalinska and Mirra Andreeva, where the Russian won her first Grand Slam, also fell short of expected viewership in the United States, attracting 826,000 viewers across TNT and truTV, a 44% decrease from last year's match between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka, which drew 1.47 million viewers.

However, this year's tournament as a whole attracted a more consistent audience. During the first week of coverage on TNT, when the top players and most Americans were still in the main draw, there was a 25% increase compared to 2025. The network averaged 387,000 viewers across all time slots, just 1% less than last year's Roland Garros, according to Sports Business Journal. Across TNT, truTV, and HBO Max, the tournament reached 22.9 million viewers, a 46% increase from 2025.
