A year ago today
On Sunday February 26, 2023, a year ago to the day, Roland Garros revealed its list of officials selected to referee the lines of the prestigious Parisian tournament.
This year the great tennis festival will take place from Monday May 20 to Friday May 24, 2024, Porte d’Auteuil, for the qualifying phases and from Sunday May 26 to Sunday June 9, 2024 for the final draw.
Investments throughout the year in various competitions or training activities to attract new referees have been taken into account.
Sébastien feels “happy and proud to contribute to the attractiveness around this tournament” by thanking very warmly: the president of the Argentan Tennis club, Thierry Morel, the president of the Orne Committee, Gilles Poussin, very invested at departmental and regional level. L’Argentanais would also like to salute the members of the Departmental and Regional Arbitration Commission, in particular Marc Louvel, based in Honfleur (Calvados), and the president of the Normandy League, Olivier Halbout, a major player in the development of the various activities offered by the French Tennis Federation (FFT).
