The morning that has just come to an end at Roland Garros focused on children and generosity.

After causing quite a stir by their arrival, Stefanie Graf and Andre Agassi joined young tennis talents from ten different countries to play eight matches on court no. 7. Despite the rain, both the children and the two champions were enthusiastic.

This was followed by a press conference in the Tenniseum - the Roland Garros Museum -with the two tennis champions and representatives of Longines and the Swatch Group.
