There are a thousand and one ways to get the most out of Roland-Garros. Here’s the low-down
©Christophe Guibbaud / FFTAttention all tennis fans: Roland-Garros is ready for lift-off in 3, 2…1!
If you’ve been feeling a bit blue about not being able to watch the matches live on the courts, cheer up, because we’ve got the low-down on all the ways you can enjoy the Paris Grand Slam wherever you are in the world. You’ll (almost) feel like you were sitting there in the stands.
The Roland-Garros app is packed full with exclusive content and with an array of fun games on offer - you’ll be spoiled for choice!
What’s inside? Get that buzzing stadium feeling with games and quizzes galore. Pick your team, analyse your stats and challenge your friends with the RG Fantasy Game by Infosys. If you’re more of a quizzer, brush up on your tennis trivia then put it to the test with the RG Quiz. Watch out though, there’s a time limit on getting your answers in (come on, otherwise where’s the fun in that?!). Put together your own draws, keep up with the results and try to rack up as many points as possible with RG Bracket, and play against tennis fans from around the world, or even just in private mode with your BFF, your pals, colleagues, or that favourite uncle who introduced you to the game. There are so many prizes up for grabs – including tickets and thousands of Roland-Garros goodies.
How do I get into the RG Gaming Zone? You’ll find it in the official Roland-Garros app. Alternatively, you can also play here, here, here and here.
Why not take a virtual stroll around the stadium with the podcasts available in English and French, “Roland-Garros Set” and “Roland-Garros le podcast”. Sit back and listen to Marjorie Hache and Barbara Klein have a laugh together and get a bit cheeky as they remember some of their favourite tournament stories and hold interviews with the people who make the tournament happen.
Each podcast is a quarter of an hour well spent as we get to know Roland-Garros personalities – like the concierge of the players’ Village, or the ball boys and girls – and soak up the sounds of the walkways and wings of the tournament.
Both podcasts are available on the Roland-Garros app, the Roland-Garros website and all music platforms (Deezer, Spotify, Apple and Google). Just press play, sit back, close your eyes and enjoy the inside track at Roland-Garros.
Top tip: This year’s audio content is accessible via Alexa!
“Alexa, ask Roland-Garros to play “Roland-Garros Set”.
