French Open |
|
The French Open is one of the most popular and the most important tennis tournament held over two weeks between late May and early June in Paris, France, at the Stade Roland Garros. It is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the yearly tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam still held on clay and ends the spring clay court season.
It is one of the most prestigious events in tennis, and it has the widest global broadcasting and audience of all regular events in this sport. Because of the slow playing exterior and the five-set men's singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is widely considered to be the most actually demanding tennis tournament in the world.
French Open Tennis Tournament
The French Open Tennis Tournament rules have been a principle and bible of sorts to one of the most prestigious events in the world of tennis. It is the most important tennis tournament held in Paris over a period of two weeks between late May and the earlier part of June.
The most modern champion in the men's division is world number one Rafael Nadal of Spain, while Francesca Schiavone pulled off a stunning run to win in the women's division.
Considered as one of the most exhausting tournaments in the International Tennis Federation, the French Open is played in the sprawling Le Stade de Roland-Garros, a 21-acre complex which houses twenty tennis courts. Even though the French Open follows all of the ITF Tennis rules and regulations, there are a few guidelines that are unmistakably Roland-Garros.
