Beijing’s new 13,000-seat tennis court with retractable roof will not be ready for this year’s China Open, it has been announced.
The court, built with local government money as part of the Chinese capital's bid to become an international sports city, was originally expected to stage China Open matches in October.
But organisers will instead have to rely on the neighbouring 10,000-seater, lotus flower-shaped stadium purpose built for the 2008 Olympics until the new arena is ready next year.
Official He Huali told Reuters: "There is no delay in construction of the structure, just the necessary time to finish off the decoration.”
