Currently watching Court Simone Matthieu without commentary on Discovery+, when I think there would be commentary in previous years. Don't think there's a Discovery+ multicourt stream with commentary either, unlike we have had at recent Slams.
Not sure if there is world feed commentary of this court, but I think the French Open has the smallest world feed provision of the four grand slams (Wimbledon has six courts with commentary, and the other Anglophone Slams have a similar provision).
Is there any UHD coverage provided by Eurosport?
A new feature this year is the umpires on Court Philippe Chatrier wearing a camera by their ear. It looks similar to what was see on the Crystal Palace v. Manchester United game a few weeks back.
There has been no world feed commentary used by Eurosport/Discovery so far... they also appear to have ditched the "Extra" stream which really was just a simulcast of Eurosport 2 at the Australian Open anyway. The only English commentaries away from Chatrier and Lenglen have been on matches involving British players.
Eurosport UHD is available on Virgin Media in the UK, and presumably on some platforms elsewhere.
