Named after the French aviator, Roland Garros lies in Paris’s 16th arrondissement and is the only major to be played on clay courts.

The name of the stadium complex is used interchangeably with the tournament’s official title — the French Open — with 20 courts making up the site.

The biggest is Court Philippe-Chatrier, which has a 15,000-seat capacity.

It was completed in 1928 as France prepared to defend its Davis Cup title at a peak period for tennis in the country dominated by the ‘Four Musketeers’: Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, Henri Cochet and Rene Lacoste.

One stand is named after each of the tennis musketeers at Court Philippe-Chatrier.
