The French Tennis Federation continued the work of modernizing the stadium Roland-Garros this year with the installation of the roof on the court Suzanne-Lenglen, which will be operational for the tournament Roland-Garros 2024 and the Paris Games. This Thursday, the FFT and the tournament shared photos to show the progress of the work.
Work on the Suzanne-Lenglen in 2022
A tribute to the pleated skirt created by Jean Patou for Suzanne Lenglen
The last phase of this project began after the 2023 edition of the tournament Roland-Garros with the installation of the canvas constituting the mobile cover. This new roof “swill enhance the unique architecture of the Suzanne-Lenglen court by giving the impression of being levitated above the court and the stands“, declared the tournament. The mobile cover is made of canvas and is inspired by the pleated skirt created by Jean Patou for Suzanne Lenglen. “This work thus pays a beautiful tribute to the champion, pioneer of women’s tennis.“.
