Day 13: Men’s Semifinal #1, Court Philippe Chatrier, Day Session, Roland Garros

Men’s Semifinal #1 — Court Philippe-Chatrier, day session

The men’s semifinals are the most underrated sessions at Roland Garros. Four players remain. Every match carries the weight of a potential final — the winner goes through, the loser goes home. That pressure produces tennis that often matches the final in quality, and you get two matches across the day and evening rather than one.

The day session features one of the two men’s semifinals. Chatrier fills to near capacity. The atmosphere is serious in a way that the earlier rounds rarely are.

In our experience, the semifinals offer the best combination of match quality and value at Roland Garros. If budget is a consideration and you want to see the best tennis of the tournament, this is what we would recommend.

About Court Philippe-Chatrier

Court Philippe-Chatrier is the main stage of Roland Garros. Every final, every marquee match, every deciding moment of the tournament takes place here. The retractable roof — added in 2020 — means play continues in all weather conditions.

A Chatrier ticket also gives you access to all Outside Courts throughout the day.
