Roland-Garros 2023: The Trophée des Légendes gets a makeover

Mixed doubles takes centre stage

First held in 1998 in the shape of a men’s competition, with the women joining in 2010, the Trophée des Légendes by Emirates puts the fun into Roland-Garros. Supported and loved by everyone with a soft spot for great gestures and crazy rallies, the tennis champions of yesteryear come together with the aim of putting smiles on faces.

This year’s competition will feature men’s, women’s and mixed doubles exhibition matches, with 14 top-quality encounters not to be missed, all of them held on Court Suzanne-Lenglen in the closing days of the tournament.

The stars on show

As is the case every year, the list of participating players is what dreams are made of. While the pairings have yet to be announced, Arnaud Clément and Fabrice Santoro are sure to be tested when they defend their men’s double title, with John McEnroe, Sergi Bruguera, Cédric Pioline, Mats Wilander, Guy Forget, Michael Chang, Mansour Bahrami, Andrei Medvedev, Henri Leconte and Sébastien Grosjean all lining up against them.

Last year’s women’s doubles winners, Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone, will be out to retain their title. The duo will not be short of quality opposition, with Kim Clijsters, Lindsey Davenport, Agnieszka Radwanska, Nathalie Dechy, Gabriela Sabatini, Gisela Dulko, Tatiana Golovin, Nathalie Tauziat, Daniela Hantuchova and Caroline Wozniacki all hoping to shine at the Porte d’Auteuil.

And with mixed doubles on the bill too, it promises to be a competition to remember. Be there at Court Suzanne-Lenglen from 6 to 11 June!
