From the public on Philippe Chatrier court, and that's it.

The gauge of the number of supporters present simultaneously between the walls of Roland Garros will be lowered to 5,000 spectators, we learned on Thursday.

Initially scheduled for 11,500, it will bear the brunt of the resurgence of coronavirus cases in France and in particular in the Paris region.

The matches that will be played on the Suzanne Lenglen and Simonne-Mathieu courts will thus finally be closed to the public.

This decision is part of a logic of overall tightening of health measures.
