Roland Garros, also known as the French Open, is the second Grand Slam event in an annual season. Held from mid-May to early June, the French Open is the world’s premier clay court tennis tournament and the most physically demanding of the four Grand Slams.
The French Open began as a national tournament in 1891 – The French Championships. The first women’s tournament was held in 1897. The French Championships first allowed international players to participate in 1925. In 1968, the French Open was the first Grand Slam event to go “open,” allowing both professional and amateur players to compete.
