Rapporterad av AI

Roland Garros har nu skjutbara tak på sina två huvudarenor för att hantera väderrelaterade problem under Franska öppna.

Franska öppna installerade skjutbara tak på Court Philippe Chatrier 2020 och Court Suzanne Lenglen 2024. Detta är de enda banorna med tak bland de 20 på anläggningen, medan de resterande 18 förblir utomhus och använder presenningar vid regn. Huvuddomarna beslutar när taken ska stängas, vilket tar cirka 15 minuter, även om funktionärerna föredrar utomhusspel så långt det är möjligt.
