Backtracking for the organizers of the next Roland-Garros tournament (September 27 to October 11). A few days before the start of qualifying, they are forced to reduce the number of spectators authorized each day to enter the Parisian enclosure to 5.000 people. Initially, it was planned to accommodate a maximum of 11.500 spectators per day, with a different gauge depending on the courts. But " the health situation in the Ile-de-France region has led the Paris Police Prefecture to limit the number of spectators who can access the Roland-Garros stadium during the tournament. announces a press release from the French Tennis Federation (FFT). Originally, three independent zones had been defined in order to avoid too many crossings between spectators: the Suzanne-Lenglen court (5.000 spectators), the Philippe-Chatrier central court (5), and the Simonne-Mathieu court ( 000). In the new version, only ticket holders for the Philippe-Chatrier court will be able to enter the site. Once in the place, they will be authorized to go on all the courts. “ The 2020 tournament will be exemplary for the promotion of sport, for its influence and the defense of its values. announces the FFT in its press release.
