Roland Garros will take a small step towards technology in the competition in 2026. The Parisian Grand Slam will allow for the first time the use of smart bracelets and connected devices during matches, becoming the first major tournament to open the door to this type of tools. Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, among others, had already experienced controversy regarding this when they were forced to remove the Whoop bracelet before a match in the Australian Open. That will no longer be necessary at Roland Garros, which will allow players to access more data on physical performance and effort during the match.
