What Happens When It Rains at Roland-Garros?
Rain Delay Procedures
- Play continues on Court Philippe-Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen under their retractable roofs
- Other courts suspend play until weather improves
- Matches may be rescheduled or relocated to covered courts
Next Steps
Stay informed about schedule changes and follow official tournament announcements for updates during rain delays.
Continuous Play on Main Courts
With retractable roofs now installed on both Court Philippe-Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen, play can continue all day and night regardless of weather conditions. This significant improvement ensures minimal disruption to the tournament schedule during rainy periods.
Ticket Policies
If less than 2 hours of play is possible due to rain on courts without roof coverage, ticket holders may be eligible for partial refunds according to the tournament's inclement weather policy.
Schedule Adjustments
The tournament may adjust match schedules to accommodate rain delays, potentially leading to multiple matches being played on the same day. Priority will be given to matches scheduled on courts with retractable roofs to ensure tournament progression.
