Capacity Increases for Roland Garros Court 14
As the Roland Garros tournament continues to modernize its facilities, infrastructure development is shifting toward the grounds' secondary show courts. Court 14, currently the fourth-largest venue on the premises behind Philippe-Chatrier, Suzanne-Lenglen, and Simonne-Mathieu, is slated for significant renovation.
The court, which currently offers a capacity of 2,500 seats, is scheduled to undergo expansion work beginning this summer. This upgrade aims to alleviate seating pressure during the event, providing spectators with better access to matches outside of the primary stadiums.
