It’s the end of this Roland-Garros 2023! Thank you all for following us throughout the fortnight on the Internet site. Good evening !
19:00 – The summary of the match
Novak Djokovic marked the history of sport by winning this Roland-Garros 2023. The Serb dominated Casper Ruud in three sets (7-6, 6-3, 7-5) and won his 23rd Grand Slam title making him the player in the men’s draw to have won the most. However, it did not start well. Indeed, the Serb lets slip his first serve but ends up clinging in this first set which he will eventually win after a smoothly completed tiebreak. Visibly very touched by the loss of this first set, Casper Ruud almost let slip the second, which he lost in 53 minutes. The latter recovered in the 3rd round and managed to stay ahead of Novak Djokovic for almost the entirety of this set. But the 4th in the world cracks when serving to lead six games to five. The new world number one is then imperial when concluding the service despite the tension that must have lived in him when writing his name in the legend.

At Roland Garros, the official program for each day, available on the official website, can sometimes be turned upside down. Indeed, if the schedule for the start of the day is quite clear, it is very difficult to count on the exact time of the end of the matches. The main constraints for the organizers: the weather and the time of sunset. In fact, only the Philippe-Chatrier court has a retractable roof and can host matches at night. The other courts do not have lighting.
Roland-Garros 2023 begins with the main draw matches on Sunday, May 28, 2023. The date of the men’s final, which traditionally closes the fortnight, is set for Sunday, June 11, 2023.
The Roland Garros ticketing system (see the official website) is the same as previous editions. The objective of the organizers is to fill the courts “to full capacity”. For this, access to the stands has been reworked with the sale of 1,500 “annex-up” tickets which will allow ticket holders to attend matches on the annex courts but also to fill the boxes of the central court Philippe Chatrier , in case of low attendance. Often empty, the presidential stand will experience change in this 2022 edition. The organizers will give club volunteers the opportunity to attend the matches from this stand, by inviting them regularly.
Roland Garros has been open to the general public since Wednesday March 15 with the ticket office accessible to all. Visitors and spectators can now buy tickets on the official site of Roland Garros. They will have to choose the remaining ones because the presidents of the tennis clubs and the licensees have already taken tickets for this edition of Roland Garros. The limit is set at 8 tickets maximum for the 3 main courtswithin the limit of 4 places per session, including a maximum of 4 tickets for the following 4 days (Saturday June 3, Sunday June 4, Friday June 9 and Sunday June 11) and a maximum of 12 tickets for the annexes the first week, within the limit of 4 per day.
Price details:
- On the Philippe-Chatrier court prices vary from €40 to €320 for this Roland-Garros 2023.
- On the Suzanne-Lenglen, prices vary from 50 euros to 155€ (excluding dressing rooms)
- On the Simonne-Mathieu court, prices vary from €60 to €110 (this year, the upper stands are accessible)
- The price of a ticket for the additional courts costs this year 39 euros for the first week of the tournament (May 28 to June 3).
- To obtain the cheapest ticket on one of the 3 main courts, you will have to pay a minimum of €40 for a match of the “Night Session” in category 3 on Monday May 29 or Tuesday May 30 on the Philippe Chatrier.
- The most expensive ticket (excluding boxes and services) for the fortnight will cost €320 and will allow you to attend the Men’s final scheduled for Sunday June 11, 2023 in the Gold Category.
- A “pass” offer offering the day + the evening is also available. For 70€ you can do the whole Chatrier session on Tuesday May 30th.
The overall prize pool for Roland-Garros 2023 has once again increased. This increase is estimated at 12.3%. The overall allocation is equivalent to 49.6 million euros according to the press release from Roland-Garros. For comparison, in 2022, it was 43.6 million euros. Those who will benefit from this new financial bonus are the players who will be eliminated in the first round. This season they will receive 69,000 euros, 7,000 more than in 2022.
Broadcasters of Roland Garros in 2022, FranceTV and Amazon Prime (subscribe to Amazon Prime Video) have renewed their contract until 2027. The French Tennis Federation has extended this collaboration in March 2023. France Télévisions will broadcast all the matches of the day whileAmazonPrime will broadcast all 11 night sessions from the first Sunday to the last Wednesday of the tournament. It is also this channel that will offer its subscribers the poster of the day. The two media have reached an agreement.
