On March 13, the French Tennis Federation officially announced that the actor Jin Dong has been appointed as the ambassador of the French Open in China.

The Chinese actor Jin Dong has been invited by the French Tennis Federation to be the first Chinese ambassador of the French Open. He is the lead tennis player of the Chinese all-star team and is a huge fan of Roger Federer. The international project manager of the French Tennis Federation Lucas Dubourg indicated that Jin Dong’s graceful presence will perfectly complement clay court tournaments. Both sides are satisfied with this cooperation.

In the meantime, the French Tennis Federation will hold a series of training-camp activities in the Institute of Chinese Tennis. They hope to develop and promote clay court tennis in China. They also expect the French Open will be an important link in the sports exchange between China and France. In the future, it is hoped that there will be more tennis champions growing up on clay courts.
