The most difficult of all the events making up the Grand Slams is the the Roland Garros, that happens between mid-May and June every year for a two week period of time ever since 1891 with 1897 having the first women's tournament. The tournament moved from grass to a a kind of crushed red brick in 1912 and was declared a Grand Slam tournament in 1945.

 

 

This is the French Open 2009. Roland Garros is another name for it. In 2007, a marked change took over the Roland-Garros tennis tournament, making men's and women's prizes equal for the first time in history.

 

The Roland Garros Live is held in the capital of France, at the magnificent Roland Garros Stadium, and the court of clay has held many tennis players in check – making the ball bounce greater and reducing the speed, making players who rely on great serves use other techniques to win. Many great tennis players have had trouble at Roland Garros, as this clay court is challenging, including Boris Becker, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, none of the three having ever been able to grab a Roland Garros Prize. Some athletes however, are equipped to deal with the clay – and it seems – actually like it better. Players that have claimed titles on the clay are Women Tennis Roland Garros stars Justine Henin, as well as past tennis greats Chrissie Evert, Monica Seles, Steffi Graf, and Martina Mavratilova, Bjork Borg and Rafael Nadal excelled in the Men's Roland Garros, all famed in Roland Garros Video. These players are trying for a win at Roland Garros again this year.
