There was a surprise guest at Roland Garros on Saturday as Super Victor swapped green grass for red clay on the eve of tennis's French Open.

After strolling around the alleys of the Roland Garros village, the UEFA EURO 2016 mascot took a lap of honour round the Court Philippe Chatrier as he visited on the tournament's traditional charity day. The spotlight then fell on French DJ Bob Sinclar, who got the crowd out of their seats ahead of a tennis exhibition involving former players like Guy Forget, Henri Leconte, Cédric Pioline and Mansour Bahrami.

With that, Super Victor flew off into the afternoon sky but have no fear: he will be back in these parts (albeit in the more familiar surrounds of a football pitch) on 7 June when France take on Belgium at the Stade de France.
