tennis court(s) Add category

The main tennis court at the French Open in Paris, France. 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.
Quote above the court: "Victory belongs to the most opinionated". Aphorism attributed to Napoleon I and that Roland Garros had made his own... to the point of inscribing it on the propellers of his planes. A phrase that also suits the winners of the Roland-Garros tournament so well...
