Capacity: 15,166Court Philippe Chatrier is the main court at the Stade Roland Garros. Built in 1928, it currently holds 15,166 spectators. It is named after Philippe Chatrier, who was head of the French Tennis Federation and helped bring back tennis to the Summer Olympics in 1988. The stands are named after France's "Four Musketeers" who dominated tennis in the 1920s and 30s. They include Jacques "Toto" Brugnon, Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet, and René Lacoste. Construction of a new center court, to seat 14,600 and feature a retractable roof, is scheduled to begin in 2010 or 2011, with completion planned for 2013 or 2014.
