Roland Garros renovation will resume after France's highest court over-ruled a lower-court ruling that ended expansion work on the clay-court Grand Slam earlier this year.
The French Council of State ruled a Paris administrative court decision that ended renovation last March was without legal basis.

Environmental activists have challenged Roland Garros' planned expansion to protect the Auteuil greenhouses that border the site.
“The FFT sees its arguments comforted by France’s highest jurisdiction and once again obtains confirmation of the legal solidity of its project,” the French tennis federation said in a statement.
Roland Garros is undergoing a major makeover that will eventually include lighting on every court and a retractable roof over Court Philippe Chatrier.

Currently, the French Open does not have lights or a roof over any of its courts.
By the time the project is fully completed in 2020, the rebuilt Roland Garros will feature 18 fully-lit courts, including a retractable roof over Philippe Chatrier Court with a seating capacity of 15,000. Suzanne Lenglen Court will seat 10,000.
