April 25 (UPI) -- A second retractable roof will be used for the first time at Roland Garros, with the famed tennis site to debut the addition at the 2024 French Open before using it at the Paris Olympics, organizers said Thursday.
"It will allow us to keep playing if the weather is bad and welcome 25,000 people," Amelie Mauresmo, director of the clay court Grand Slam told reporters at a news conference.
