The Monday smash – Roland-Garros: the danger of “night sessions”

Broadcast on Amazon Prime Video, the evening matches go almost unnoticed. A miscalculation on the part of the organizers.

Opinions are unanimous, this edition of Roland-Garros broke all records: attendance, audience and atmosphere. Deprived of the normal conditions of their tournament for two years, the French have regained control of the jewel of the Porte d'Auteuil. And they were spoiled with an exciting first week, probably the most beautiful for ten years. But when there is unanimity, there is a wolf. The wolf of the night session has entered Paris . Very popular in the United States or Australia , these night matches pose a real problem in France , which has neither the habit nor the DNA.

Let's sum up: around 8:45 p.m., the public at Philippe-Chatrier is renewed. The lucky holders of evening tickets can attend the meeting of the new nugget of world tennis or the performance of Alizé Cornet . The viewer, accustomed to France 2-France 3, will not see anything. The rights were awarded, after a call for tenders, to Amazon Prime Video (approximately 15 million euros) . Ditto for the brand new short Simonne-Mathieu, whose images belong to the platform. Nothing to say about this procedure, the American giant has put more money than the public service, nor on the device of the platform – carried by the excellent Frédéric Verdier and Guy Forget. Except that the general public is well and truly deprived of a quality show and

By programming beautiful posters in the evening, the French Tennis Federation is shooting itself in the foot. She takes the risk – like last year with Roger Federer who had beaten in the night, in an empty stadium and in front of less than 100,000 viewers, Dominik Köpfer during his last match at Roland – to miss moments of history to the greatest number. Let's move on to the programming on a Saturday evening, opposite the Champions League final, by Hugo Gaston, the last Frenchman in the running, eliminated on the sly. Let's also go over the programming of a single women's match in a week – parity is not won. Tuesday evening could have marked the final match of Gilles Simon, a very popular figure, scheduled late on the Simonne-Mathieu, Fortunately, he got away with it and was able to say goodbye this Saturday in front of nearly two million viewers.

Worse, while the three giants (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) are living their last great moments , the FFT has chosen to schedule two of Carlos Alcaraz's four games at night – and a third on the Simonne-Mathieu. The next generation of tennis, amazing in its freshness and its play, could not be exposed to the greatest number. It is this type of media window that allows a discipline to endure and renew itself. An Alcaraz broadcast during the day, on France 2 and France 3, creates a craze and makes tennis popular – which loses licensees year after year.
