Roland-Garros Opening Week Packs Sellouts as Qualifying Gets Underway

Overview

• The qualifying week, which opened Monday, is sold out with about 20,000 spectators per day, according to tournament director Amélie Mauresmo.
• Each men’s and women’s draw features 64 players in three knockout rounds, all best of three sets, to produce 16 qualifiers per side for the 128-player main draws, with 32 seeds in each qualifying field.
• France fields roughly 30 players across the qualifiers, and the entry lists include former top names such as Grigor Dimitrov, David Goffin, Paula Badosa, Bianca Andreescu and Karolína Pliskova.
• A single-day ticket under €30 grants access to matches on the annex courts and Court Suzanne-Lenglen, plus viewing of training sessions on Court Philippe-Chatrier, with €15 pricing for fans under 25.
• Early play delivered human moments as 17-year-old Daniel Jade earned his first Roland-Garros win and David Goffin grew emotional after advancing, with a Gaël Monfils tribute night also set during the week.
