Maybe you have already seen this. The inside looks a lot like the stadium at Indian Wells (minus the deluxe airconditioned suites)

Isn't it purdy????? :hearts:

It's cool, like a swimming pool.

Looks big. Ho many seats does it have?

centre court (8,000 seats), court 1 (4,000 seats), court 2 (2,000 seats) and courts 3-9 (200 seats).

I didn't see the other courts in that photo....

Is it an outdoor court as it appears in the picture, or has the roof been "removed" to allow an interior overview?

actually, I don't know anything about it. I just saw the photo on french yahoo.

That's what the chinese are planning to build for the Masters Cup from 2005 to 2007:

Just asking because of the obvious diffrence between indoor and outdoor courts.

The Olympics this year are intended to be a USO warmup (same surface and balls) so I'm pretty sure it's outside.

That's nice... but is it true the Olympic committee was behind with construction??! as long as it doesnt collapse

Is that a CGI drawing or a picture?

Wow fair play that looks really impressive!

Okay, now that the greek built such a stadium, will they get an ATP or WTA tournament next season??? I mean cos if not, what will happen to the stadium when the olympics are over?

Is that a CGI drawing or a picture?

I was wondering the same. Lol, my eyes are too weak to tell whether it's real or computer generated.

looks great !

are you guys kidding me?? the courts are basically built already. There was a thread a long time ago on the same subject.
Anyways, here are some pics:

Very Greek-looking! They seem to implement a lot of the acropolis type of design to their stadiums! :D
