40 years ago to the day, Yannick Noah, then 23 years old, won the Roland-Garros tournament against Sweden's Mats Wilander. It is still today the last victory of a Frenchman in Grand Slam.
Europe 1, official radio of the tournament, returns to this historic moment of French sport in archives. The native of Sedan, who grew up in Cameroon, in Yaoundé, became the first Frenchman to win Porte d'Auteuil since Marcel Bernard in 1946.
