The French Open has begun making changes to court layouts following several injuries linked to advertisement boards and equipment at Roland Garros.
Multiple players sustained injuries during the 2026 tournament after tripping on items placed around the courts. Zeynep Sonmez retired from her doubles match after falling over an advertisement board and required stitches for a knee injury. Alexander Blockx suffered an ankle injury on a practice court after tripping on tarp sheets. Alexandre Muller also retired from his match against Stefanos Tsitsipas after tripping over an advertisement barrier on the Philippe Chatrier court, resulting in a calf injury.
