The 2026 poster is the fruit of a meeting between the red clay – a strong identifier of the Parisian Grand Slam – and JR’s singular world, represented by a black and white eye, one of his signatures. The eye is created using photo collage, a technique that has become one of his hallmarks.
In this piece full of contrasts, JR shines the spotlight on the red clay, which takes centre stage in this poster. He gives a special insight into how the courts are prepared in the Porte d’Auteuil stadium.

Bravo Carlos, little titan, young wizard of Oz. A worthy champion, a huge talent, wonderful person and history-maker 🙌
And Australia, so much love 🫶🏼. No place like the happy slam. Forever grateful.
The idea of Stan Wawrinka as a Slam champion was born in a loss.
Two months later, on his 28th birthday, Wawrinka got his arm tattooed: 'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.'
A year later, he won the Australian Open 🏆
This was always stuck in my mind….
“When the draw was made 12 days ago, fate whispered to Rafa ‘A storm is brewing,’ and Rafa, without hesitation, whispered back, ‘Here – at Roland Garros – I AM the storm’”- Poetic

Roger Federer on Novak Djokovic:
“Novak was the party crasher of Rafa and Roger fans. When I first played him, I said 'He’s ok.’ But I wasn’t convinced. I didn’t give him the respect he deserved, but then he became a monster of a player."
