About the French Open
The French Open (known as Roland Garros) is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, held in Paris, France, on the courts of the famous Roland Garros tennis complex. The tennis competition takes place over two weeks at the turn of spring and summer. Male and female players compete in nine categories: five for adults and four for older juniors.
Matches from Roland Garros are broadcast live, and a large screen in the center of Paris allows tennis fans to watch the action in real time.

History of the Tournament
The history of the French Open began in 1891 when the tournament was a national championship open only to French players. In 1925, it became an international competition, and in 1928 it moved to the stadium now known as Roland Garros, named after French aviator Roland Garros.
The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament played on clay courts. The slow surface and high bounce of the ball make it one of the most physically and tactically demanding events in world tennis.
