The atmosphere at the French Open is a little more subdued than the other three majors. That doesn?t mean that Court Philip Chatrier does not get crazy at times, but it?s not exactly the same as in New York City, Melbourne, or London.
One thing that does help out at Roland Garros is that it is a fairly intimate setting, despite seating over 15,000. Seats are very close to each other, and it feels smaller than the numbers would suggest. Of course, seeing it hosts the biggest names in the sport, helps make the atmosphere a little bit better as well.
It just beats out Rod Laver Arena, but it doesn?t stack up to the final two. There?s a bit of a gap after Court Philip Chatrier, as the majority of fans are well aware it ultimately comes down to two stadiums as the best.
