Victor Wembanyama’s last at Roland-Garros?

Surprise finalists of the Betclic Elite, the Metropolitans of Victor Wembanyama will challenge Monaco from Thursday evening, and the first two rounds will take place on the Rock. But what about match 3 and the possible 4th round which must be played, in principle, in the room of Levallois?

The Marcel Cerdan room and its 2,800 seats is clearly too small for such an event, and in the previous round, against Asvel, the Mets 92 had “moved” to the Accor Arena for the second round. This time, Vincent Collet and his players could take over from the tennis stars, and land at Roland-Garros. It would not be a first since Paris Basketball had faced Monaco there at the beginning of October, and according to it, the mysterious Ile-de-France coach is on the way…

“I think the final deserves a very nice venue, explained Collet on Sunday after qualifying. The club is working on a relocation. Bercy will already be occupied by stars. La Defense Arena? It takes a very long time to get back into basketball configuration. But I still think there will be a nice surprise. I know but I can’t say…”

The Levallois hypothesis remains “the most probable”

Match 3 and the possible 4th round should in theory be played on June 15 and 17, and the Central of Roland-Garros will be free. Depending on the scenario of the final against Monaco, the French Open stadium could therefore be the scene of the coronation of Monaco or Boulogne-Levallois, and therefore of the last match of Betclic Elite of Wembanyama…

This is the last trackconfirms Alain Bouvard, the president of the Mets, at Parisian. The management of the French Tennis Federation (owner of the Roland-Garros stadium) must first check whether it will be possible to uninstall the equipment linked to the tournament. We should know more tomorrow (Tuesday) but the idea has been launched… For the moment, several possibilities exist. The hypothesis of playing at Levallois is also strong, it is also the most likely for the moment. »
