There is no rain in the forecast for Day 1, so that might be the only use of the movable cover atop the second-largest stadium at the tournament facility.
The main arena, Court Philippe Chatrier, has had its retractable roof since the 2020 tournament.
Among the players scheduled to play Sunday are four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, two-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz and, in the night session, Andy Murray against Stan Wawrinka in a match-up between a pair of men who each owns three Slam titles.
