French Open (Roland Garros)

There have been some epic men’s and women’s tennis matches played on the clay courts at the French Open. The prominent tournament is nicknamed Roland Garros after the famous aviator, so it seems fitting that many spectators book charter flights to Paris with Stratos Jets to watch the action live.
The French Open is the premier clay court championship in the world, and the second of four annual Grand Slams. Starting in late May, it follows nearly five months after the Australian Open. The world’s top tennis players then have just a few weeks to rest and prepare for Wimbledon in late June.
Because of it’s ability to slow down the ball, the clay surface takes away some of the advantage held by big servers and those who play a serve-and-volley style. There is a list of notable players who have won multiple Grand Slam events that have never won Roland Garros:
- Pete Sampras
- John McEnroe
- Venus Williams
- Jimmy Connors
- Martina Hingis
- Virginia WADE
Reigning champions include:
- Men’s: Rafael Nadal
- Women’s: Iga Świątek
- Men’s doubles: Marcelo Arévalo & Jean-Julien Rojer
- Women’s doubles: Caroline Garcia & Kristina Mladenovic
- Mixed doubles: Ena Shibahara & Wesley Koolhof
