PARIS - At the heart of the Jardin des Serres botanical exhibition, Roland Garros’s new Simonne Mathieu court offers a green experience in tennis’ capital of red dirt.
Garbine Muguruza, the 2016 champion, fired down her serve shortly after 11am local time to christen the new court during her first round match against American Taylor Townsend in front of a 75%-filled stadium - a rarity for a French Open curtain raiser. The court is surrounded by greenhouses featuring rare and tropical plants, giving fans and players a cocooning feel at the east end of Roland Garros.
“It’s a double experience, it’s not just about sports, you can take the time to see the plants before watching a match. The whole thing is really pleasant and relaxing,” said Jean-Pierre, a 50-year-old spectator who declined to give his last name.
