Roland-Garros, also called the French Open, is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. It stands out as the only Grand Slam played on clay courts, adding a unique challenge due to the slower surface and longer rallies. It takes place annually in the center of Paris, France, at the Stade Roland Garros. It starts at the end of May and lasts for two weeks.
