After a poster produced in part using artificial intelligence in 2024, for 2025, the Roland Garros poster highlights comic strips. This Thursday, the Parisian Grand Slam unveiled the poster for its next edition (May 25 to June 8, 2025) on social networks. Imagined and created by the illustrator and comic strip author Marc-Antoine Mathieu, it tells a tennis point in the style of a comic strip.
« From the moment I realized that a tennis court seen in plan is a comic book box with corridors and service squares, I had fun transfiguring the layout of a court and combining it with the waffle maker from a comic strip » explained the artist in a tournament press release. After starting to draw with pencil and using Indian ink, he admits to having gone through a “ post-production phase on computer [qui] allows you to refine and refine the colors, because I am not a painter ».
This work is part of the now long tradition of Roland-Garros posters, begun in 1980. With its colors blue (for the sky), yellow (for the ball) and ocher (the clay), the work of Marc- Antoine Mathieu is the 46th official poster of the tournament.
