Roland Garros 2026 closed its doors after an edition marked by surprises, new emerging stars, and record attendance figures. Amélie Mauresmo, the tournament director, and Gilles Moretton, president of the French Tennis Federation, gave the final assessment of an event that once again established itself as one of the major drivers of world tennis.

Beyond the sporting results, both leaders highlighted the international growth of Roland Garros, the success of the previous week with the Qualies, the emergence of a new generation led by names like Mirra Andreeva, Jakub Mensik, or Joao Fonseca, and the progress in discussions with players about the future of the sport. The tournament also saw its highest attendance ever and strengthened its commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and the global development of tennis.

Roland Garros 2026 records its highest attendance in history

"It was an edition full of surprises and emotions. We saw spectators truly happy with everything that happened during the tournament," explained Mauresmo. We had over 727,000 spectators passing through the venue's gates, a record number. Players were also very pleased with the services they received here and how they were taken care of during the tournament."

"We are proud that the magic of Roland Garros continues to work for both players and the audience. The excitement felt in the stands and also through television is at the core of our work. It was a very demanding edition due to weather conditions and constant changes in scheduling, but there was immense solidarity among all teams to make the tournament a success."

Gilles Moretton defends Roland Garros' role in tennis growth

"Roland Garros is much more than a three-week tournament. It is an extraordinary tool for the development of tennis and sports in general. We have a responsibility to promote tennis worldwide and provide opportunities for young players who may never have imagined reaching a Grand Slam."

"Joao Fonseca's example is perfect. He won the Roland Garros Junior Series in South America and is now competing at the highest level. This year's junior champion also came from that program. We are developing similar projects in Asia and aim to further grow in Africa. We have signed agreements with federations from Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Senegal to share experience and help tennis grow."

Amélie Mauresmo celebrates the success of the qualifying week

"The Qualifying Week was a huge success. We welcomed 138,000 people, allowing many to discover tennis thanks to affordable tickets. It's true that we did not open 100% of the venue during those days, but approximately 90% of the stadium was operational."

"We will analyze if in the future we can open all facilities because it is a real possibility. First, we will have to conduct a comprehensive analysis of everything that happened during the tournament."
