PARIS, May 14 (Xinhua) -- The French Tennis Federation (FTF) Monday announced that it is extending its partnership agreements with TV Tokyo and Japan's pay TV broadcaster WOWOW to broadcast the Roland Garros tournament in Japan.
"I am absolutely delighted to have extended these contracts with TV Tokyo and WOWOW. They allow the French Tennis Federation to keep offering maximum visibility of Roland Garros in Japan," said FTF President Bernard Giudicelli.
The new contract signed with TV Tokyo runs from 2018 to 2021, and allows the Japanese channel to give Japanese players plenty of airtime and show the men's and women's semi-finals and finals.
Starting in 2018, WOWOW will broadcast the whole of the French Open.?
