The 2024 Summer Olympics will take place in Paris and for the occasion Court, Suzanne-Lenglen will be fitted with a roof.
Court Suzanne-Lenglen is the 2nd biggest court on the tennis ground where the Roland Garros takes place. As the 2024 Olympics will be held in Paris, Roland Garros announced that their 2nd biggest court will be fitted with a row. It's an effort to modernize the venue for the grand occasion with the court set to become the 2nd with a roof on the complex.
This roof is based on lightness and should fit its environment and the current building; the new structure will look like it levitates above the court and the stands. Architect and urbanist Dominique Perrault, who will manage the project with French and German companies, wants to "pay tribute to tennis, of course, but also to the Suzanne Lenglen era, the 1930s and the fashion of that time".
