Roland-Garros

It’s a must-see event for sports lovers! Broadcast around the planet, this top-tier world sporting event is organised by the French Tennis Federation. It is also the only Grand Slam tournament to be played on clay – one of the oldest and noblest surfaces in tennis history.

It happened in 2021

After six years of major works, the Roland-Garros stadium has completed its metamorphosis. It is now more spacious, landscaped and modern, yet still retains its atmosphere and unique character. The Grand Slam tournament will be held amid a modern 12-hectare setting which will welcome the stars of the tennis world, and awaits you from Monday 24 May to Sunday 13 June 2021 at its home in western Paris.

With just a few days to go until the opening matches of the 2021 French Open, everything has been organised in accordance with the necessary health protocol. With spectator seating plans, mask wearing, physical distancing, the installation of hand sanitiser dispensers and tools for calculating spectator numbers, everything is in place to ensure a safe visit. From 24 to 28 May, the qualifying rounds will be played behind closed doors; from 30 May to 8 June, the stadium will welcome 5,388 spectators a day; and, from 9 June, the Philippe-Chatrier court will be able to accommodate 5,000 spectators, with an extraordinary night session scheduled. However, access to the stadium will require the presentation of a health passport.

This 2021 edition of the Paris Open promises to be an exciting one, with a generous programme of 804 matches scheduled on the courts of the venue at Paris’s Porte d’Auteuil over the tournament’s three-week run.
