General Information:
The French Open is the second major Grand Slam tennis tournaments held annually. It lasts two weeks and is considered the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam still held on clay and it wraps up the spring clay court season. The French Open is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournaments in the world because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men’s singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set.
