Welcome to this live dedicated to the 2023 edition of the Roland-Garros tournament. It’s already the sixth day of the French Open tennis tournament. Throughout the day, on a less disheveled rhythm than during our usual live sports, we tell you here the essentials of what is happening at the Porte d’Auteuil.
France 4 (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), France 2 (2 p.m. to 8 p.m.), France 3 (8 p.m., 8:35 p.m.). Matches at the Simonne-Mathieu court and evening sessions of the Philippe-Chatrier court on Prime Video.
