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.”
