Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as consultant
The public service is not the only one to offer Roland-Garros on its antennas. Since 2021 Prime Video is, in fact, co-broadcaster of the event.

The semi-finalist of the 2013 and 2015 editions of the Paris Grand Slam, who will take his first steps as a consultant, joins the platform's team of specialists composed of Marion Bartoli, Arnaud Clément, Guy Forget, Tatiana Golovin, Pauline Parmentier and Fabrice Santoro and will bring his expertise throughout the tournament.
Clémentine Sarlat will kick off the day at 10:45 a.m. with the opening show to be held in the aisles of Roland-Garros. Thibault Le Rol will host the evening session from Prime Video's studio on Centre Court. He will analyze the meetings of the day with the consultants.
