Roland Garros "changes" surface: impressive snowfall and magical scene

Roland Garros 2026 has a new playing surface. The clay court era at the second Grand Slam of the year is over: we are moving to the first tournament in history played on snow. Okay, that's a joke, but what is not a joke is seeing the Philippe Chatrier under an impressive blanket of snow: the images are sensational, from another time, and paint a picture that we have rarely seen until now. The images of the French tournament facilities under the snow, believe me, are worth seeing.
