France Télévisions and Eurosport have tapped Microsoft technologies in order to enable users of their respective websites to watch high-definition content from the 2010 French Open tennis championships. As of May 26th, 2010, and until June 6th Silverlight and IIS Smooth Streaming will enable visitors to FranceTV and Eurosport websites to watch games featuring superstars like Rafael Nadal in the Roland-Garros French Open Tennis. The Spaniard has already won the French Open no less than four times, and, despite the loss last year, he is most probably THE player to watch in 2010.

The (video) player is the right one, the (tennis) player not: Long live King Roger!
