The Stade de Roland Garros (Roland Garros Stadium) is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France, and is home of the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament, played every year in May and June. The stadium is named after Roland Garros, an early French aviator and a fighter aircraft pilot during World War I, who, on September 23, 1913, had become the first man to fly a plane over the Mediterranean Sea.

Court Philippe Chatrier is the main tennis court at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. Built in 1928, it currently holds 14,840 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.
