The winter sports season is in full swing with an Olympic Trials, a Grand Prix figure skating event and the U.S.’ biggest skiing star in action this weekend across NBC Sports and Peacock.

The U.S. Olympic Curling Trials conclude in Omaha with the men’s and women’s best-of-three finals series.

The top seeds after round-robin play were the favorites — Olympic gold medalist John Shuster‘s rink and world bronze medalist Tabitha Peterson‘s team.

Figure skating’s Grand Prix Series visits France, headlined by four-time world ice dance champions Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France, reigning world champion Anna Shcherbakova of Russia and U.S. Olympic hopefuls Jason Brown, Karen Chen and Mariah Bell.

Mikaela Shiffrin, fresh off notching her 70th World Cup win last month, races in the first two World Cup slaloms of the season in Levi, Finland, where the prize is a reindeer. Shiffrin has won four of them in her career.

U.S. Olympic medal hopefuls are also in action in short- and long-track speed skating and the opening World Cup of the bobsled and skeleton season.

2023 French Open TV, live stream schedule

By OlympicTalkMay 30, 2023, 6:48 PM EDT

The French Open airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through championship points at Roland Garros in Paris.

Tennis Channel has live daily coverage with NBC and Peacock coming back for the middle weekend, plus the men’s and women’s singles semifinals and finals.

All NBC TV coverage also streams on NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app.

It’s the first French Open since 2004 without Rafael Nadal, the record 14-time champion who is out with a hip injury and hopes to return next year for a likely final time.

In his place, the favorites are top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, who is tied with Nadal for the men’s record 22 Grand Slam singles titles.

FRENCH OPEN DRAWS: Women | Men

No. 1 Iga Swiatek of Poland is favored to claim a third French Open title, a year after beating American Coco Gauff in the final. She bids to join Serena Williams and Justine Henin as the lone women to win the French Open three or more times since 2000.

Two Americans are ranked in the top six in the world — No. 3 Jessica Pegula and Gauff.

The last American to win a major singles title was Sofia Kenin at the 2020 Australian Open. The 11-major drought matches the longest in history (since 1877) for American men and women combined.

2023 French Open men’s singles draw, scores

The French Open men’s singles draw is missing injured 14-time champion Rafael Nadal for the first time since 2004, leaving the Coupe des Mousquetaires ripe for the taking.

The tournament airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through championship points in Paris.

Novak Djokovic is not only bidding for a third crown at Roland Garros, but also to lift a 23rd Grand Slam singles trophy to break his tie with Nadal for the most in men’s history.

But the No. 1 seed is Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who won last year’s U.S. Open to become, at 19, the youngest man to win a major since Nadal’s first French Open title in 2005.

Now Alcaraz looks to become the second-youngest man to win at Roland Garros since 1989, after Nadal of course.

Alcaraz missed the Australian Open in January due to a right leg injury, but since went 30-3 with four titles. Notably, he has not faced Djokovic this year. They could meet in the semifinals.

Russian Daniil Medvedev, the No. 2 seed, was upset in the first round by 172nd-ranked Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild. It marked the first time a men’s top-two seed lost in the first round of any major since 2003 Wimbledon (Ivo Karlovic d. Lleyton Hewitt).

No. 9 Taylor Fritz, No. 12 Frances Tiafoe and No. 16 Tommy Paul are the highest-seeded Americans, all looking to become the first U.S. man to make the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003. Since then, five different American men combined to make the fourth round on eight occasions.
