Organizers of the French Open have announced the inauguration of the second retractable roof at Roland Garros on the opening day of the tournament next month. The new roof, covering the 10,000-seat Suzanne Lenglen court, is part of a project planned with the Paris Olympics in mind.
A ceremony for the roof will be held on May 26, coinciding with the start of the main draws. This addition will provide more flexibility in scheduling matches and ensure play for 25,000 fans on the grounds and TV viewers worldwide.
