Stéphane Morel
Chief Executive Officer
French Tennis Federation (FFT)

The French Tennis Federation is committed to aligning itself with the very best—the leaders in their respective fields.

In 2024, we partnered with CGI, a leader in the digital sector, for the Alpine Paris Major. The Alpine Paris Major is the largest padel tournament in the world, one we launched in collaboration with Premier Padel.

We figured CGI could help us with our website, and indeed, that first year went remarkably well so we renewed the partnership for an even bigger, even more ambitious event: the Rolex Paris Masters. It's one of only nine Masters 1000 tournaments in the world, bringing together the top-ranked players on the ATP tour. And for this event in particular, CGI is supporting us not just on the website, but on the app as well.

CGI brought us a more modern digital identity—one built on fluidity for our fans—and that's something we'd been chasing for years, both for the Alpine Paris Major and the Rolex Paris Masters. That fluidity is really about the seamless journey our fans are looking for. It needs to closely mirror what our fans actually experience at the event itself. When it comes to finding key information on our players, on the events happening within the event, CGI has been a huge help.

CGI has been a tremendous help to us over the past few years, and we're hoping that partnership continues both when it comes to the fluidity of our fans' journey, and everything CGI can bring to the table in terms of design and architecture for our app and our website, whether that's for our tennis event or our padel event.

So if CGI can stick with us for the next 50 years, and we can support them on these events as well, we'd be thrilled.

Happy birthday, CGI! It's CGI's 50th anniversary and the Rolex Paris Masters turns 40 this year so here's hoping we get to blow out our candles together!
