The new director of Roland-Garros Amélie Mauresmo and the president of the French Tennis Federation (FFT) Gilles Moretton took stock on Sunday of an edition rich in spectacle and emotions.

We experienced an extraordinary edition from the point of view of the spectators, the enthusiasm, all this fervor around the Roland-Garros tournament, this double session

(day/night)

which worked very well.

The number of spectators was in 2019 at around 519,000, we went to 613,500 this year

, ”welcomed Amélie Mauresmo.

To discover

  • Roland Garros men's singles

  • Roland Garros single ladies

"

It's a record tournament,

" said Moretton.

We are going to spend the 300 million euros in turnover for the tournament.

In 2019, a normal year

(the last before the two editions under the covid regime, editor's note),

we were at 262 MEUR.

Another great satisfaction: record television audiences.

We are the most watched tournament on the planet with 699 million hours watched.

Television audience with more than 38 million before the final.

We have audience peaks that exceeded all our expectations with Sunday May 29 on France 3, during the match between Nadal and Auger-Aliassime, a peak of 5 million viewers

.

A peak which should be exceeded on Sunday during the final between Rafael Nadal, in search of a 14th title, and Casper Ruud.

The night sessions, which were a success, according to Mauresmo and Moretton, on the ticketing side, were nevertheless debated.

"

This exposure can indeed be problematic, even if we have seen it, there are also ways to make it accessible beyond this Nadal-Djokovic evening

," Mauresmo said.

Where I personally have more questions is also about the end schedule.

We have to put all that down, think about what happened this year, start looking at each evening, what time it ended, how long it lasted, the temperatures also, etc.

Indeed, it will certainly be necessary to make adaptations, adjustments

”.
