Speaking about the deal, Gilles Moretton, French Tennis Federation President, commented:
“We are thrilled with this Premium partnership, which was an obvious step for two French brands with a strong international dimension. It’s an ambitious partnership and we’re both committed to shaking things up and achieving our sustainable mobility goals in the very near future. Renault is also planning to extend the partnership beyond Roland-Garros, which gives us great cause for satisfaction.”

Additionally, Renault will also launch the ‘GIVE ME 5’ programme which is the company’s latest social responsibility project aimed at the younger generation, through which it will be promoting the game across various cities in France. Renault will also develop and renovate playing facilities for the kids.
