Having reached the age of 41, retired from tennis and about to become a mother for the second time, Serena is represented in the Paris complex by a life-size cardboard. Those who wish can attach their head to the corresponding mannequin, which represents the winner of 23 Grand Slam titles.
In addition to Serena, fans can also be, for example, (also for free) Rafael Nadal. The Iberian is absent from Roland Garros for the first time in his career (due to an injury), but is “present” through a cardboard dummy in the Paris complex.
Fans can also choose: Iga Sviatek, Caroline Garcia or the legendary French player Yannick Noah.
