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.
Roland Garros 2026
Roland Garros 2026 took place from 18 May to 7 June 2026 in Paris on the famous clay courts of the Stade Roland Garros. The qualifying tournament began on 18 May, while the main draw started on 24 May. The women's singles final was played on 6 June, and the men's singles final took place on 7 June.
The tournament marked the 125th edition of the French Open and added another chapter to the history of one of the most prestigious Grand Slam events.
Tournament Highlights
In the men's singles event, German tennis player Alexander Zverev captured his first Grand Slam title. In the final, he defeated Italy's Flavio Cobolli in five sets.
In the women's singles event, Mirra Andreeva became the champion. At the age of 19, she won her first Grand Slam title and became the youngest Roland Garros women's singles champion since Monica Seles in 1992. In the final, Andreeva defeated Poland's Maja Chwalińska.
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.
