For the third time this season after having already set up the system in Marseille and Lyon, BNP Paribas will next week allow exceptional consultants to comment on tennis matches during the Metz tournament. One of our Tokyo Olympic champions Steven Da Costa as well as the flag bearer of the French delegation Samir Aït-Saïd will follow one another at the microphone.
The Metz tournament, scheduled for next week (from September 19 to 26), will mark the big debut at the microphone of the heroes of Tokyo. As it had already done earlier in the season, in Marseille and Lyon, BNP Paribas will once again allow exceptional one-day consultants to comment on matches on the ATP circuit. And not the least. On the We Are Tennis platform, which will broadcast (free) five matches of this Moselle Open, will follow one another neither more nor less than Steven Da Costa, gold medalist of the last Olympic Games in karate, the gymnast Samir Aït-Saïd, one of the two flag bearers of the French delegation unfortunately only fourth in the rings event due to a biceps injury contracted during the event, and Astrid Guyart, returned from Japan with the silver medal foil (fencing).
Pioline and Pine in final bouquet
Just as Jacques Monclar had done for a match at the Open Parc de Lyon (the number 1 specialist in basketball in France had already officiated at the Olympic final of the London Games between Andy Murray and Roger Federer) , the three champions will abandon their favorite discipline to try their hand in the role of tennis consultants (humor, anecdotes and punchlines over the shoulder) alongside Charlotte Gabas, in charge of comments for the channel beIN Sports. Here too, like what was offered in Lyon and Marseille – with Patrick Bosso, Bengous, Alix Noblat, Eric Di Meco and Frédérick Bousquet as consultants during Open 13 – fans will be able to interact directly with Charlotte Gabas and his partners for a day at the microphone via a live that should not lack spice. Astrid Guyart will open the ball on Wednesday, followed in the order of Samir Aït-Saïd and Steven Da Costa. At the weekend, two true tennis specialists and both former champions Cédric Pioline and Camille Pin will take over for the semi-finals and the final. Excuse the little.
