Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon in action
They’re already back. Recent retirees from the professional circuit, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon are taking part this year. Tsonga makes no secret of his excitement: “It’s great to be back on the clay court at Roland-Garros. It’s a really special moment.”
Also in attendance will be Mats Wilander, three-time winner here at Roland-Garros; John McEnroe, finalist in 1984; and Francesca Schiavone, winner on Chatrier in 2010. She is paired with Daniela Hantuchova against Lucie Safarova and Nathalie Tauziat for the first Legends match, fourth up on Court Suzanne-Lenglen on Tuesday.
