Suzanne Lenglen Stadium to have retractable roof in French Open
Thanks to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the French Open will have two retractable roofs. The first one at the Philippe Chatrier in 2020, the second one at the Suzanne Lenglen in 2023, in order to host sports matches during the Games in five years and also not to let play get affected by rain during the Grand Slam. The roof on Lenglen will have a €18 million cost.
Meanwhile, the French expert Pascal Aubrit spoke about the concept of talent: "It does not exist a definition of talent, this word is mainly about principles. Someone, for example, think it's a gift. The coach makes you develope it, in order to make it appear something that was already there. Personally, I prefer to see the talent as an upcoming quality, which would show up when favourable conditions meet up. I do not think we are born as talented. I had the chance to coach kids and younger guys who had good games but everyone had a big sports culture. Kids who started early and learned to express themselves through the body often had better performances than the ones who did not start walking until the three years of age. Is this talent or learning? And then, we should know what you mean for talent. Is it about doing things better than others or invent new ways to do them?"
Rafael Nadal won the 2019 French Open defeating Dominic Thiem in the final. This was his 12th win at Roland Garros and his 18th Grand Slam title, only two fewer than Roger Federer's 20.
