Virgin Media subscribers with a HD compatible set top box and a 3D enabled high definition television will be able to enjoy all the 3D action on channel 523.
Eurosport will run a live 3D feed from Centre Court at Roland Garros from May 28 to June 10.
This is the third consecutive year that Eurosport has covered the French Open in 3D, but the first time that the feed has been made available live to UK homes.
Alongside Virgin Media, Sky has also agreed a deal to offer the coverage to its satellite TV customers with 3D TVs on the Sky 3D channel.
Eurosport has the pay-TV rights to the French Open, while the free-to-air rights are held by ITV, which will show the tennis tournament for the first time this year.

I love my 3D TV - don't regret buying it at all! And Mr Scott Harris - you've obviously never watched anything on a decent 3D TV! (Sammy The Turtle's Tale looks amazing!).

Finally something good to watch in 3D on VM. It was really good last year.

Only rich people can afford 3D t.v . If i was rich this is one thing i wouldn't upgrade too . 3D is the most over-rated crap i have ever seen . It's something that should only be used in cinema's.

They showed the French open in 3D last year - I would like Wimbledon in 3D too!
