PARIS: The French Tennis Federation on Saturday published a detailed document examining the future of Roland Garros as the venue for the French Open.

The FFT revealed earlier this year they were considering relocating the tournament, with its current home considered too small.

Roland Garros, which has been home to the event since it began 85 years ago, spans 8.5 hectares, less than half the size of Wimbledon's 18.5 hectares.

There are also no covered courts at the venue, unlike Wimbledon, where a roof has been successfully installed on Centre Court.

Organisers feel they are losing ground to their Grand Slam counterparts as a result.
