Unusual what happened in Paris in the memorable match between Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic . The French government decided to lift the curfew at Roland Garros so that the public could witness the outcome of a memorable match. The whole week the tournament was closed to the public from 11pm… but the occasion was worth it.
Everything indicated that the 5,000 fans who were present in the stands of the Philippe Chatrier were not going to be able to witness the end of a match that is now tennis history, but the French government surprised everyone by lifting the curfew at 11 p.m. that governs the neighboring country.
The public address system announces that they have reached an agreement with the government to exceptionally skip the curfew. People celebrate and shout "Thank you Macron." Those who were leaving re-enter. Total madness. The players return to the track #RGxESPN pic.twitter.com/mdTdawuPN2

The extension of the curfew could be heard on the stadium's public address system and the party was held on the central court of the Parisian tournament. The fans thanked Macron and even Nadal and Djokovic responded with applause. All for the presence of a memorable tennis match.
