context_page_description: Stade Roland Garros is a complex of tennis courts located in Paris that hosts the French Open, a tournament also known as Roland-Garros. It is a Grand Slam championship tournament played annually around the end of May and the beginning of June. It is named after Roland Garros, a pioneering French aviator. The facility was constructed in 1928 to host France's first defence of the Davis Cup.
  The 8.5-hectare complex contains twenty courts, including three large-capacity stadiums; Les Jardins de Roland Garros, a large restaurant and bar complex; Le Village, the press and VIP area; France's National Training Centre; and the Tenniseum, a bilingual, multimedia museum of the history of tennis.
context_section_description: Built in 1994 and originally designated "Court A", Court Suzanne Lenglen is the secondary stadium with a capacity of 10,068 spectators.  Its namesake, an international celebrity and the first true star of women's tennis, won 31 major tournaments, including six French Open titles and six Wimbledon championships, between 1914 and 1926.   Known as La Divine ("Divine One") and La Grand Dame ("Great Lady") of French tennis, she also won two Olympic gold medals in Antwerp in 1920.  A bronze bas relief of Lenglen by the Italian sculptor Vito Tongiani stands over the east tunnel-entrance to the stadium.  The trophy awarded each year to the French Open women's singles champion is named La Coupe Suzanne Lenglen in her honor.  The court has an underground irrigation system, the first of its kind, to control moisture levels within its surface.
  In 1994, the walkway between Court Chatrier and Court Lenglen was named Allée Marcel Bernard, in honor of the 1940s-era French champion who died that year.
