Named after the French fighter pilot Roland Garros, the Roland-Garros stadium (built all the way back in 1928) houses the French Open--the premier clay court world tennis championship and the second of four annual Grand Slam tournaments, the other three being the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. It is the only one of these tournaments to be played on clay and is considered to be the toughest and most physically demanding tournament of all four!

"Red dirt is slower, which makes for a brand of tennis which is less direct and more tactical--It also brings out spin, and favors those with more light and shade in their game, be it topspin (the one and only Rafa), slice (Justine Henin) or drop shots (which certainly helped Roger Federer lift the Roland-Garros trophy in 2009)," says writer and sports journalist Guillaume Willecoq.

From Monday, May 22nd, to Sunday, June 11th, 2017, the French Open will continue to challenge players at their game, keeping the almost century-old tradition (at the Roland Garros stadium) alive.
