Roland-Garros’ two-week term is almost over. Yesterday, Friday, June 9th, the two men’s semi-finals of the Paris tennis tournament were held. Carlos Alcaraz’s first opponent, Novak Djokovic, has kept his promises, at least in the very competitive first two sets. In the end, it was the Serbian player who won in 4 rounds. (6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1)
The second semi-final match between Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud took place later in the evening. And France 2’s tennis presenter Laurent Luyat was infuriated when he saw so many empty seats in the stands of the Philippe-Chatrier court. “I was surprised because the stadium is not full. People bought tickets for this match. I have a ticket, I’m not coming… The audience only bought tickets for this match, we remind you. This is quite surprising. And yesterday (Thursday) the same thing happened in the women’s semi-final. There were lots of vacancies. I don’t understand the principle of buying tickets and not coming to the game.clearly pissed off on the air.
“It is true that it is incomprehensible. It’s even more surprising because I know how difficult it is to get tickets to Roland-Garros. I have many friends who want to buy. It is impossible to find tickets. These people who didn’t come should do something with their tickets.“Abandoned at the direction of Patrick Mouratoglou, adviser to Television France. Note that most of the empty seats are on the lower floor of the Philippe-Chatrier court, in an area where most of the places are reserved for companies or partners.
