Tournoi de Roland-Garros, commonly known as the French Open, is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks between mid-May and early June in Paris, France, at the Stade de Roland Garros. It is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. It is one of the most prestigious events in tennis^[1] and it benefits of the widest worldwide broadcasting and audience of all events in this sport^[2]^,^[3]. Because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.^[4] Roland Garros Roland Garros (October 6, 1888 â€“ October 25, 1918) was an early French aviator and a fighter aircraft pilot during World War I.

Officially named the Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros or Tournoi de Roland-Garros (the "Tennis French Internationals of Roland Garros" or "Roland Garros Tournament" in English), the tournament is often referred to as the "French Open," and sometimes simply as "Roland Garros."

In 1912, the French tournament was held with a different surface (at the time all tennis played was lawn tennis), a red clay ("terre battue"), made up from the crushed wastes of red brick. The tournament was open only to tennis players who were licensed in France up until 1924.

Surface characteristics

Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a high bounce when compared to grass courts or hard courts. Clay court takes away some advantage of big flat serves, which makes it hard for serve based players to dominate on the surface. For example Pete Sampras, a player known for his huge serve and Roger Federer, current World No. 1 have never won the French Open. On the other hand, legendary all-court players, such as Rod Laver, Björn Borg and Ivan Lendl have found their greatest success at French Open. Grass courts are the fastest kind of tennis courts, next to cement courts or hard courts. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
