The tennis battle will pit four mixed teams of two players against each other. The team captains - Domingo, Inès Vandamme, Rayenne "Etoiles" Guendil and Jules Marie - will each be tasked with selecting 2 protégés from their community and enabling them to play at Roland Garros alongsideAlizé Cornet, former world no. 11, who will be playing in her last Roland Garros this year; Gilles Simon, former world no. 6 and recently retired; the charismatic Mansour Bahrami and professional player and consultant Alizé Lim.
"As a sports aficionado, with a particular affection for tennis, I'm extremely excited to be hosting this unique competition again. It's great to be able to offer fans the opportunity to live this extraordinary experience and share it with my entire community. I'm also grateful for the continued support of BNP Paribas and We Are Tennis, who are making this possible for the second year running." Domingo, host and content creator.
To bring the show to life, We Are Tennis by BNP Paribas and Domingo are counting on the presence of fans and are opening the Suzanne-Lenglen court for just 12 euros, right in the middle of the Roland Garros tournament.
A small price that also supports a worthy cause. All ticket sales will be donated to the Etendart association, enabling 800 young people to attend summer camps this year. In addition, every point scored during the event will be donated to the association, as part of the PointsForChange solidarity program launched by BNP Paribas in 2023.
The Wildcard Battle is already shaping up to be a great event for tennis fans and fans of original shows. A unique opportunity to experience an exceptional evening while supporting a wonderful cause, that of the development of young people through sport and the arts.
