Revolution (finally) to come at the next Roland-Garros. According to France Info, the roof of the Central will be delivered and operational a year in advance, causing a number of upheavals from the next edition of the tournament. Thus, all matches from the quarterfinals will ALL be played on the Philippe Chatrier court in due time, regardless of the weather.
. @ rolandgarros innovates. All 1/4 finals will take place over 2 days and all on the central. There will be 2 sessions per day (12 p.m. and 5 p.m.). Each session will consist of 2 quarters (1 men and 1 women). The last 14 matches of the tournament will therefore take place on central. @FFTennis
- Fabrice ABGRALL (@FabriceAbgrall) January 15, 2020Our colleagues argue that the quarter-finals will now be played over two days (two games at 12 noon, two games at 5 pm) in order to ensure that no match can be completed before nightfall. Finally, so to speak since projectors will now guarantee that the game can continue until the end of the matches on all the main courts, namely the Chatrier, the Lenglen, the Simonne-Mathieu court, and even court no. 14.
. @ rolandgarros innovates (twice). The Central, Suzanne Lenglen, Simone Mathieu and court 14 are now fitted with a lighting system. All matches on these 4 courts will end after dark. If it rains, only the exchange with a roof will be functional @fft

Excited to be there.
