The information is revealed by Team : the next edition of the Roland-Garros tournament would be postponed by one week. Initially scheduled for May 23 to June 6, 2021, it would finally be held from May 30 to June 13. The French Tennis Federation (FFT) should make the official announcement this week. The reason for this postponement? The hope of an improving health situation, which would make it possible to increase the number of spectators, and thus increase revenue from ticketing. In such a scenario, the FFT could consider the presence of a larger audience than last year (1.000 people per day), and plan a hospitality program for the tournament partners. Provided, of course, that the French government eases its current restrictions, a hypothesis that is still very uncertain, even at the end of May. Postponing the French Grand Slam lift would shorten the time between the end of Roland-Garros and the start of Wimbledon to just two weeks.
