French Open 2012 TV Schedule: Where to Catch All of Day 2's Action

Day 2 of Roland Garros 2012, or the French Open, is a big one, as it features two No. 1 ranked players in Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka amongst many other great tennis players.

You're going to need to know exactly where you can watch all the action, because it's not going to be a day of tennis that you're going to want to miss.

Even though the big names are matched up with far inferior opponents, every match is critical considering that you never really do know what will happen. Not only that, but the circumstances in any given match can drastically impact the play moving forward.

Needless to say, any match at the French Open is must-see TV.

Predictions For Day 2's No. 1's

As I said before, some of the biggest stars are going to be out on Day 2 at Roland Garros, and they will undoubtedly be shining. Here's my predictions for the two No. 1 ranked stars:

Victoria Azarenka (1) vs. Alberta Brianti

Unfortunately for Brianti, I don't see this ending in a giant upset. There's a reason Azarenka is No. 1 in the WTA rankings—she is that good. The only player on the women's side that I see giving her trouble is Maria Sharapova.

Perhaps Brianti will be able to put up a fight, but I doubt it. She's ranked 97th in the world and lost in the first round in her last tournament, which was the WTA Internationaux de Strasbourg. I expect the same outcome at the French Open. Tough draw.

Winner: Azarenka

Novak Djokovic (1) vs. Potito Starace

Just like the women's No. 1, Djokovic has a first-round appointment with an opponent ranked No. 97 who had a first-round exit in his last tournament, but this time it was at the ATP Internazionali BNL d'Italia. Starace has no career singles titles, but he does have five career doubles titles under his belt. Unfortunately, I don't even think a partner would help him against Djokovic.

Winner: Djokovic
