Like a video podcast, this service enables to automatically receive everyday the highlights of the famous French tournament. A thumbnail iimage appears on the desktop to alert the user when a new video is ready to be watched.

Video On-Demand
The service offers also to download on-demand the 20 last finales of the tournament.
For the first time on a Tennis website, the videos will be in DVD-quality (>1,5 Mbs) and make visiors able to see the ball!

Peer-to-Peer system developped by 1-Click Media:
Best quality, Faster download for the users, Lower delivery cost for the content provider.
Before watching the video, users will need to install the plug-in developped by the company 1-Click Media to manage the download and share easily with the others users. The peer-to-peer solution of 1-Click Media, based on the bittorrent principle, is used to offer best quality videos for free and reduce the delivery cost. In theory it allows an infinite numbers of viewers: more people downloads, faster is the download.
1-Click Media plateform is hosted by European company Ipercast to ensure the speed delivery and the protection of the video files (DRM Microsoft).
