The president of the FFT, Bernard Giudicelli, explains the concept of the Roland-Garros Tennis Club, open during the tournament. This space for socializing around tennis also offers to test associated practices such as Padel and Beach Tennis.

Bernard Giudicelli explains at the end of this FFT interview that:

We want to give a real influence to padel.

We want to create our own padel which will bring together the facilities to organize a major international competition of padel, but which will also serve as a training center and which will allow the development of padel and its practice in our territory.
