History
Creation The French Open, then called the French Internationals, was initially held alternately at Stade Français and Racing Club de France since 1925. In 1927, France won the Davis Cup in against USA, and set up a rematch in Paris for the next year. There was a need of a new stadium to hold such a major sporting event, and the Stade Français handed over three hectares of land near Porte d'Auteuil to the French Tennis Federation for this purpose. The 1928 French Internationals were the first event to be held in the new stadium. 1925 (MCMXXV) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display the full calendar). ...
