PARIS (Reuters) - The French Open took an unexpected turn on Tuesday as both Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz were seen enjoying themselves on roller coasters at the newly unveiled "Racquetland," an amusement park installed within the Roland Garros stadium grounds. While Djokovic began his pursuit for a 23rd men's Grand Slam singles title, he was clearly more focused on the endless supply of candy floss and the adrenaline rush provided by the inverted roller coasters. Alcaraz, on the other hand, seemed to be channeling his inner child as he sped around in a bumper car shaped like a tennis ball. Spectators, initially drawn to the courts for intense tennis action, were equally delighted and confused by the transformation of the venue. Some were even seen abandoning the matches to hop on the 'Smashcoaster,' a ride sending guests through life-sized tennis rackets at high speeds. "It's amazing," said one spectator, clutching her souvenir foam finger while quickly craning for a look at her favorite tennis pros to catch a glimpse. "I wish all the tournaments were like this." The French Tennis Federation (FFT) initially condemned the change, calling it "an affront to the elegant reputation of the French Open," but later released a statement saying, "You've got to admit, the Ferris wheel does add a certain je ne sais quoi." Controversy sparked around the tennis world as some felt the amusement park distractions hindered the athletes' performances. A disgruntled Novak Djokovic fan said, "It's hard to focus on the match when you're worried about Novak's sugar intake and whether he's tall enough for that ride." Yet, the excitement was palpable as both Djokovic and Alcaraz, still riding the high from Monday's wins, decided to join forces for a doubles match on a self-proclaimed "weirdest" court - an actual merry-go-round. "I'm just here to have fun," said Djokovic, wearing a red clown nose and winking. "Records can always be broken, but not every day can be such a blast." The french tennis world may never be the same again, but one thing is certain: Djokovic and Alcaraz will be leaving the French Open with more than just their racquets and rankings, they'll be leaving with memories of a lifetime.
