The French Open tennis championship will remain at Roland-Garros on the outskirts of Paris, after officials rejected proposals to move the French Grand Slam to new premises outside the city.
After a general assembly this weekend at which French Tennis Federation (FFT) officials voted on the issue, Roland-Garros was backed unanimously winning two-thirds of the vote in a final round at the expense of Marne-La-Vallee.
It means the venue at Roland-Garros is expected to be modernised and extended from 8.5 to 13.5 hectares.
