French Open
The French Open, also commonly known as Roland-Garros, is a tennis tournament held over two weeks at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, beginning in late May each year.
The brilliant competition is a clay court championship and the only Grand Slam tournament currently held on this surface. It is the second of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments taking place in the year, occurring after the Australian Open and before Wimbledon and the US Open.
With the seven rounds needed for a championship, the clay surface and the best-of-five-set men’s singles matches, the French Open is widely regarded as the most physically demanding tournament in tennis.
