The flagship meeting of the 2022 edition of Roland-Garros between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, broadcast free of charge by Amazon Prime Video and not France Televisions, brought together more than 3 million viewers, announced Wednesday the general manager of Prime Video Sport Europe , Alex Green. The shock of the quarter-finals on May 31, whose programming in the evening session had sparked controversy by being reserved for the paying platform Prime Video and not for the public service, is the only one on which Amazon wanted to communicate audience figures. . “The audience on Prime Video has increased significantly this year, it has been a great tournament”, simply reacted Alex Green during a press briefing in Paris.
By way of comparison, France Télévisions, the main broadcaster, was delighted to have gathered on average “1.9 million viewers” over the afternoons, and 4.6 million on average during the final.
