French Open 2015 Men's Final: TV Schedule, Start Time and Live Stream Info

In a busy sports weekend across the globe, the 2015 French Open men's singles final stands out as a can't-miss event with little in the way of a viewing conflict, tucked away in the early Sunday morning television slate in the United States.

The stage is not yet set after Friday's play, as rain postponed the end of the titanic match between No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Andy Murray, per Roland Garros:

Djokovic led the match 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 3-3 at the time of cancellation. According to The New York Times' Christopher Clarey, the match will resume at 1 p.m. local time on Saturday:

In the first men's semifinal on Friday at Roland Garros in Paris, No. 8 Stanislas Wawrinka defeated France's great hope, No. 14 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, in four sets, 6-3, 6-7 (1), 7-6 (7), 6-4.

If you're on the West Coast, you'll have to wake up bright and early to catch it, but the match promises to be well worth the disruption to your sleep schedule. Here's the viewing info for the 2015 French Open men's singles final.

Wawrinka will be gunning for just his second career Grand Slam title; he beat Djokovic in the 2014 Australian Open final for his first.

With a stunning heat wave turning Philippe-Chatrier Court into a clay oven, the Wawrinka-Tsonga match was very much a punch-counterpunch affair between two powerful players, with very few long rallies.

Tsonga displayed some dubious shot selection at times, and his shaky backhand put him at a considerable disadvantage throughout the match, although it was capable of ephemeral beauty, per Clarey:

However, Tsonga was unable to come up with the big shots when he needed them, winning just one of 17 possible break points. Wawrinka had a paltry 52 first-serve percentage, but he did manage 15 aces to Tsonga's eight.

Wawrinka pointed to the third set as a key point in the contest.

"It went down to two or three points. He had opportunities to break me in the third set. As is usual against Jo, it's been a very tough match. It was tough but I'm happy I got through," said the Swiss player, via a report from SkySports.com.

As for Murray-Djokovic, well, what looked to be little more than a glorified walkover for Djoker turned into a budding classic. The world's No. 1-ranked played some of his finest tennis in the first two sets, smashing 24 winners against 16 unforced errors and winning approximately 74 percent of his first-serve points.

Both players looked like they were trying to break out of a prison—Djokovic a captive of the muggy Paris heat, Murray a prisoner of his own mind.

Whatever psychological block Murray had eroded in the third set. Grantland's Brian Phillips mentioned his renewed attitude:

"

If only Murray could start every match convinced he was down two sets! He'd be fearless, unstoppable.

Roland Garros noted the game went to several marathon rallies, with Murray winning a particularly impressive 33-shot battle:

The storm interrupted a brilliant fourth set, and Wawrinka will likely be rooting for Murray on Saturday. He should at the very least hope Murray pushes the game to a fifth set, forcing both players to spend time beating each other up Saturday, depleting their reserves of energy before a quick turnaround for Sunday's final.

Wawrinka is 6-8 in his career against Murray and 3-17 against Djokovic. He does have the win over Djokovic in last year's Aussie Open to give him hope, but he would likely be far more comfortable against Murray, whom he's 3-0 against on clay.

Murray's clearly a transformed player on clay this year and should be able to push Djokovic to the brink Saturday, but look for the Serbian star to pull this one out and advance to the French Open final.
