News Summary:
The French Tennis Federation (FFT) and the Fête le Mur association renewed their collaboration on January 21, 2026, extending their partnership until 2029. FFT President Gilles Moretton and Fête le Mur President Yannick Noah signed the agreement at Roland-Garros Stadium. Earlier in January, on the 15th, Alizé Cornet, captain of the French Billie Jean King Cup team, assembled her staff. Her appointment as captain was announced on November 2, 2025, just months after she retired as a player. Cornet, selected for her "investment in French tennis, her profile, her motivation and her availability," replaced Julien Benneteau, who had held the role since 2019. Previously, on September 30, 2025, the FFT announced that the French Open would continue to utilize human line judges for its 2026 tournament, diverging from other Grand Slams that have adopted Electronic Line Calling systems and highlighting the human element as a key feature. This followed news from August 4, 2025, that Jessica Chanderli, then head of media rights sales for the FFT, would join WTA Ventures as its senior vice-president for media rights.
