PARIS– The 2024 French Open is underway at Roland Garros, with the first round beginning on Sunday following an unveiling ceremony for the new retractable roof above Court Suzanne Lenglen.
There is no rain forecast for Day 1, so this may be the only use of the mobile roof atop the tournament venue’s second largest stadium.
The main arena, Court Philippe Chatrier, has had a retractable roof since the 2020 tournament.
Among the players scheduled to play on Sunday are four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, two-time Major champion Carlos Alcaraz and, in the evening session, Andy Murray against Stan Wawrinka in a clash between two men who each hold three Slam titles. .
