ROLAND-GARROS: A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPECTATORS
There will be many spectators admitted to the Parisian tennis Grand Slam, already postponed from May 30 to June 13, but within a double limit of 1000 per court and a third of capacity, confirmed Jean-Michel Blanquer on France 3.
As part of the progressive deconfinement decided by the government, “the gauge is that of 35%” of the capacity of the stadiums, “with a maximum of 1000 people”, “by court”, detailed the minister however did not specify if the gauge would change, especially for the finals, from June 9. At that date, in fact, “we go to 65% with a ceiling of 5,000” people, “so we will start to have stadiums honorably filled,” he continued.
Another question for Roland-Garros: will the matches at night be played behind closed doors because of the curfew? “Are we able to set up a supporting system (for the spectators), that’s one of the things that is being discussed” with the organizers. Jean-Michel Blanquer has not ruled out changes to these rules “depending on what we see about the crisis” and its evolution.
