A TV film directed by Yannick Noah
If the production team called on the last French player to have won Roland-Garros, it is no coincidence as indicated by the title of the TV film which takes place entirely in the world of tennis. The story is based on the life of a now retired champion, Vincent Beti, whose role was assigned to Yannick Noah. The latter will play this “former player and now tournament director, as charismatic as he is troubled”, according to the summary of “France 2”.
