PARIS - There are still a few workers on site, but the new Roland Garros will be ready to host fans and players when the main tournament opens on Sunday in a classy environment featuring an 80% rebuilt Philippe Chatrier and a brand new semi-sunken court.
The Roland Garros redevelopment involved expanding the venue into the picturesque Serres d’Auteuil, the famed botanical garden that is home to 6,000 square meters of greenhouses built in 1898 and which contains works by the sculptor Auguste Rodin. “It’s a kind of smaller version of the Philippe-Chatrier court, surrounded by greenery, it’s a really unique court.
The new Roland Garros, which will be completely finished in 2020 when the main court, Philippe Chatrier, has a retractable roof to match the other Grand Slams, still has its own feel.
