French Open could move away from Roland Garros

The French Open could be forced to move away from Paris in the next few years due to problems with the infrastructure at Roland Garros.



Organisers have long considered ways of extending the current stadia but these have stalled because of opposition from the public and environmentalists.



Tournament director Gilbert Ysern said they have two options either to make the stadia bigger or move out.



A final decision on whether the tournament will remain in Paris is expected during a general assembly of the French Tennis Federation scheduled for next February.
