3D editing from the terrace. – J. Laloye / 20 minutes
- Some apartments in the neighborhood can enjoy an extraordinary view of the Roland-Garros site.
- 20 minutes slipped onto a terrace to admire the panorama.
- On the other hand, we are still looking for the ball sent by Matthew Ebden.
At Roland-Garros
It was our last challenge “paper rather Jean-Michel Londres than Albert Londres but at least we are laughing” before the retirement in the West Indies, since concerning the tan angles to Roland and “Popopopopo Olé”, it is in club for a lease . What can we see from the terraces overlooking the Parisian Grand Slam on the other side of the boulevard? Thanks to Matthew Ebden for providing us with the perfect excuse, even if it’s a give and take, since we never thought we would ever have to write Ebden and Roland in the same sentence. And for good reason: the Australian has scored four times in singles, for four eliminations in the first round.
Ebden, the right customer
In short, moonwalk until a video dated Saturday, May 30, the day before the start of the tournament, when there were still plenty of French people in the table and journalists who thought they had a job after the second round. We see Ebden trying to send a ball on the terrace of the building opposite, eight floors at the withers. He succeeds on the second attempt, under the vivas of the delirious terrace. 120,000 views anyway, once spotted by the specialist Tennis Legend account. A mission for the investigation unit of 20 minutes, obviously. After the Roudourou balconies and the Monaco GP terraces, above the Boulevard d’Auteuil terraces.

“He had to do it several times”
We spare you our little Tintin reporter tips (spoiler, remember to ring) to get to the point. Namely a meeting up there with the young girl who organized the small jump. About twenty people no more after vaccination, promises Elena, whom we immediately denounced to the ARS anyway (health above all). She says: “It was the end of the day, Ebden was all alone with his trainer, he had no one in front of him, so we warmed him up a bit to try to shoot us. He had to do it several times anyway, it’s not that easy ”.
We confirm, there is distance with the court 8, on which we have a perfect bird’s eye view, like the six, the seven, and the nine. “Before the work, we saw a piece of the Central game, but since it was redone, it’s over.” We also see a lick of Lenglen but only the tarpaulins, so unless it’s Gasquet, better to put Lolo Luyat on TV.
A challenge for Rafa?
“So the problem is the lag,” warns our host. There are at least five seconds between the clamor of the stadium and what you hear on TV ”. The ultimate frustration: living 30 meters from Roland and getting spoiled at all points. But hey, the owners aren’t huge tennis fans. “We meet here as a family to watch the final every year by tradition, but not much more. It is such a local event for us that we look at it from afar, in the end ”. Reassure us Elena, do you at least make the friends who are fighting to come, like at the Monaco GP? No, because given the price of a ticket for the short annexes in the first week, two editions of the balcony and it’s the dream life in Seychelles.
“Ahah no, even though my brothers and sisters who are older than me said to me ‘We should have thought about this sooner’. It just felt good to get together with a few friends after a year of Covid not seeing anyone. And then this video story gave us an idea. It would be nice to set up a challenge every year with some players to see how long they take to reach the terrace ”. Winner of Norrie in the waters of our visit, Rafa would be screwed to get there from the Chatrier.
