National Tennis Center (国家网球中心)

The National Tennis Center, a professional tennis venue built for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, is one of the world's top tennis facilities. Located in the Beijing Olympic Forest Park, the center covers an area of 16.68 hectares and features 30 international standard competition courts; including 17 outdoor courts, 12 indoor courts (two of which meet international event standards for clay courts), and a diamond court with a retractable roof. The Diamond Court, Air Dome indoor courts, and the original areas of the Lotus and Moon Reflecting venues have formed a brand-new cluster of venues. The entire competition area of the venue can accommodate nearly 30,000 spectators at the same time, and with the addition of standing spectator areas set up in the training courts, the hardware facilities and functional configuration of the entire venue cluster have reached the standards to host Grand Slam events, providing a guarantee for the "China Open" to move towards becoming the 'Fifth Grand Slam' in the future. The National Tennis Center is a symbol of Chinese tennis, the center of Asian tennis, a landmark of Beijing's sports and cultural construction, and an international city card for Beijing.
