Okay, so let me tell you about this tennis match I was hyped about – Azarenka versus Andreeva. I mean, it’s not every day you get to see a seasoned pro like Victoria Azarenka go up against a rising star like Mirra Andreeva. I made sure I was free on Thursday, May 30th, because that’s when it all went down.
First thing I did was fire up the ESPN app on my phone. I always use that app to stay in the loop with tennis matches. I went to their tennis hub section, and it showed that the match would be live-streamed there. No brainer, I subscribed to ESPN+ a while back, so I was all set. I also saw that Eurosport was covering it, which is great for folks who might not have ESPN+.
I got a bit ahead of myself and checked the schedule. The match was set for 4:00 pm on Court 14, according to the listings. But, as it turned out, it started a bit later, around 9:00 am in my time zone. I guess they changed the time, or maybe I read it wrong, but whatever. The important thing is I didn’t miss it!
The match got moved to Court 12. I was watching it live on the app. I grabbed some snacks and a drink and settled in on my couch. That’s the best way to watch these matches, all comfy and relaxed. When it finally got going, it was around 8:20 pm in Paris, which is where the French Open was happening.
They kicked things off, and let me tell you, it was a pretty exciting match. I won’t spoil the whole thing for you, but let’s just say that 17-year-old Andreeva really brought her A-game. There was this one moment where she won two sets in a row, 6-3, 3-6. Man, she was good! It was a solid back-and-forth, and I was glued to my screen the whole time.
Watching Tips
- Use the ESPN app to find the match schedule.
- Check for the match on Eurosport if you don’t have ESPN+.

Takeaway
It was a great match to watch, and I’m glad I didn’t miss it. It’s always fun to see the mix of experienced players and newcomers in these tournaments. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on both Azarenka and Andreeva in future matches. You never know what’s going to happen, and that’s what makes it so exciting!
