5000 spectators at Roland-Garros?

, Prime Minister Jean Castex has confirmed it.
"There is no reason that we do not apply the same rules everywhere," he says.
Recall that the government has decreed the ban on gatherings of more than 1,000 people in several large cities of the country, including Paris.
In this case, it could be difficult to imagine seeing the public in the stands of the Porte d'Auteuil since this figure includes the "accredited" (security, coaches, collectors, journalists ...).
"The gauge is 1000, I am not the organizer of Roland-Garros", retorts the head of government.
Originally scheduled for the spring, the 2020 French Open will take place from September 27 to October 11.
