​On the second courts of Roland Garros, you can no longer see cameramen who will film the matches of the second Grand Slam tournament of the year in world tennis.

Operators were replaced on secondary courts at Roland Garros

In recent years, technology has advanced significantly and humans have been replaced on secondary sites in the Porte d’Auteuil complex.

Specifically, apart from Philippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen, Simone Mathieu and Court 14 (at the end of the complex) no more cameramen are seen filming the Roland Garros matches.

There is a central camera (located as high as possible and providing an image of the entire playing field) and two cameras in the center of the field, one for each player.

The two cameras near the net are controlled remotely, and they rotate behind the players based on their movement on the court.

In addition, for those who are into virtual reality, there is a place in the Roland Garros complex where they can show off their skills. I can be, if necessary, Federer, Nadal or Djokovic. You get real-time stats and can even see how fast you served, for example.

The French also managed to solve the problem of night time, now every field of the complex receives artificial lighting as needed. There are telescopic nightstands on each site.
