THE match of the fortnight at Roland-Garros, the quarter-final that everyone is waiting for, the 59th confrontation between the two legends of this game Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will take place this Tuesday, May 31 from 8:45 p.m. This will be the “night session” match on the last day of the month.
Amélie Mauresmo, the tournament director, therefore decided. She has chosen to offer this match to the Amazon Prime Video streaming platform, which will broadcast the match exclusively at the expense of France Télévisions. So will we have to pay to see this quarter-final? The answer is no. In a nice sleight of hand, the organization of the tournament indicates in a press release: “The quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal scheduled for Tuesday May 31 at 8:45 p.m. will be accessible free of charge and without restriction., in France, on Prime Video, mobile and web applications. In other words, no subscription necessary. “The Prime Video app is available on all IPTV services so viewers can watch this game on their regular TV service. No registration or creation of an account will be necessary to follow this match. »
However, this does not solve the problem of the schedule: the legends match will take place in the light of the spotlight and in the cool, which does not help the two players. In the afternoon, viewers and beneficiaries of a day ticket on the Central will be able to vibrate with the meeting Alexander Zverev (n°3) and the prodigy Carlos Alcaraz (n°6). Not sure that consoles them.
