One of Roland-Garros’ must-see events is the Legends Trophy tournament, which brings together former champions that have gone down in tennis history on the courts at Porte d’Auteuil. As ever, the line-up for this fun and festive challenge promises some spectacular tennis.
On the men’s side, several regulars will be playing in the tournament again this year, including Fabrice Santoro, Mansour Bahrami, Mats Wilander, Henri Leconte and John McEnroe.
There will be stiff competition on the women’s side as well, with Martina Navratilova, Lindsay Davenport, Arantxa Sanchez, Kim Clijsters, Anastasia Myskina, Marion Bartoli, Nathalie Tauziat and Sandrine Testud all joining the action.
