Spending some day(s) watching Roland-Garros tennis matches ... That would be the ultimate Paris sport event to attend for me. Why ?
- Tennis is a passion. Used to be an Edberg & Graff fan. Those were my idols from when I started until the 90s. Later on, there were other top-players I use(d) to admire. Name Seles, Ivanisevic, Sampras, Hénin-Ardenne, Federer.. etc.. Strange enough, amongst those male top-players I use to admire, Federer was the only to have won RG titles. Great he seems to have just started his reign. ;
- The tournament is in Spring & Spring is the best time to live in European cities for me, at least, Paris & Brussels. As Roland-Garros is an "outdoor" tournament, I think it would be a great time in Paris;
- I still love clay tennis as it allows more room for the show. Exciting fights, esp. when you see Nadal playing.
Someday...
Btw, did you know that watching RG tennis matches as a kid was one of factors which had convinced Justine Hénin-Ardenne to give the professional tennis playing a try ? And what a try... Good & wise decision from her Mom to bring her there.
Equipment: Not too casual as the Porte d'Auteuil fauna is quite chic. I would even recommend sport chic. Plus, it is not unusual to see business suits in Porte d'Auteuil as some would spend some hours there after work.
Anyway, it is not that you attend tennis matches that you should sport bulky trainers & sweatpants. ;-)
Bring raincoat & umbrella & sunglasses.
