Overview
- The four-part series Entre les lignes is now airing on France 2 and is available on France.tv.
- Directed by Julien Bossenie and Yann L’Hénoret with the French Tennis Federation listed as co-producer, the filmmakers say they kept editorial control and early reviews describe a nuanced, non-promotional tone.
- The cameras follow daily operations across the grounds, from ballkids to weather control and the new roof’s hiccups, and they linger with tournament director Amélie Mauresmo during press flashpoints.
- One widely discussed scene shows Mauresmo rebuking a reporter for comments about player Loïs Boisson’s physique, a moment the film uses to probe how women athletes are covered.
- The series revisits Rafael Nadal’s farewell at Roland-Garros 2025 and the five-and-a-half-hour Carlos Alcaraz–Jannik Sinner final, while raising broader themes of player longevity and mental and physical care.
