Stadion Sports Center is located at the Olympic Tennis Center facilities in Marousi and features a comprehensive racket sports setup: 18 tennis courts (including 4 indoor), 11 padel courts, and 3 pickleball lanes arranged around a central pavilion. The venue will host WTA matches on three designated courts, played on outdoor GreenSet hard court surface — the same surface used at the Australian Open.

Padel + Pickleball
Count11 + 3
Off-tour padel and pickleball lanes wrap the central pavilion. Active during fan-zone hours.
Surface
GreenSet, medium-fast
Cushioned acrylic, the US Open spec. Medium-fast pace, predictable bounce. Players from grass adjust quickly; clay-court specialists need a day.
Lighting
Broadcast-grade LED
5,000 lux on Centre Court at floor level. Tunable for evening sessions and broadcast colour temperature without flicker on slow-motion cameras.
Acoustics
Bowl with controlled echo
Concrete-and-steel bowl with partial canopy. The bounce-strike-cheer sequence is sharp; PA announcements clear without overpowering.
