Built in 1928 to host the Davis Cup final, the Stade Roland Garros has evolved over the years to become one of the finest venues in world sport. In 2001 the centre court was renamed the Philippe-Chatrier Court in honour of the great sports administrator who ran the French Tennis Federation between 1973 and 1993 and who passed away in 2000. Formerly named A, B, C and D, the stands of the Philippe-Chatrier Court have this year been renamed the Brugnon, Borotra, Lacoste and Cochet stands after the celebrated Musketeers. The Lacoste Stand underwent refurbishment between summer 2007 and April 2008, its capacity being reduced from 2,491 to 2,224 places. The overall seating capacity of the Philippe-Chatrier Court is now 14,840.
