This is one of the newest museums in Paris. In 2003, it was opened next to the Roland Garros stadium, where tennis championships are regularly held. After watching a match, you can immediately learn the history of tennis development and also see with your own eyes the uniforms, shoes, rackets, and balls of famous tennis players - Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, and many others.
Right at the entrance, visitors are greeted by a stand with photographs of all the champions. Next, you can see the "evolution" of the tennis racket, shoes, and even balls. It turns out that originally the tennis ball was white, and only recently it began to be produced in bright yellow. And by looking at the rackets, you can see that their round part grew larger and larger year after year. And the material, of course, changed greatly: the first rackets were made of wood, while modern ones are made of graphite composites.
In addition, here you can see Olympic medals and trophies from the men's and women's championships. Part of the exhibition is devoted to the biography of Roland Garros himself. It is important to understand that he was, for the most part, not so much an athlete as an aviator. In one of the museum halls there is even a monoplane in which he made the first non-stop flight across the Mediterranean Sea.
