The French Open, which is also known under the name of Roland Garros, is one of the most significant tennis tournaments, traditionally held in Paris, France between the end of May and the beginning of June.<\/p>\n

This exciting tournament was named after a well-known French aviator \u2013 Roland Garros. It is worth noting that it is the only tournament out of the four Majors which is held on clay and marks the end of the spring clay court season. Betting on the French Open is also an option most online bookmakers, like William Hill<\/a>, provide. The Australian Open precedes the French one, which is followed by Wimbledon and US Open. Most experts and tennis fans consider Roland Garros as the most physically demanding tennis competition in the world, because of the specific playing surface. The fact is that the clay surface slows down the game, and makes it more difficult for tennis players to move.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The history of the French Open began in 1891 when a national tennis tournament was first held. It was open exclusively to tennis players who belonged to the French Clubs. At first, the tournament was called the Championnat de France, which actually means the French Championships in English. It is worth noting that this championship was available only for men, but the situation changed in 1897 when the first women\u2019s competition was held. Until 1924 this tournament was played only by the members of the French Clubs, and it was held in several locations: Tennis Club de Paris (surface: clay), Societe Athletique, Bordeaux (surface: clay), the Racing Club de France, Paris (surface: clay), and Ili de Puteaux (surface: sand).<\/p>\n

There is a tournament that is considered to be the precursor of the modern French Open \u2013 the World Hard Court Championship. It was held on clay courts in Saint-Cloud and Brussels. The tournament was popular for several years, but in 1924, it yielded its position in the Paris Olympic Games. The year 1928 was marked by the opening of the Roland Garros stadium, and since that time the tournament took place only there. It is worth noting that the stadium was named after the French national hero Roland Garros, who was a pilot during World War I. At first, the tournament was open mainly to amateurs, but in 1968, the situation changed and both amateurs and professionals were welcome, as you are welcome (and encouraged) to follow our French Open predictions!

Australian Open has quite a significant heritage, so no wonder there are so many interesting stories and peculiar occurrences linked to the tournament. For example, the youngest Grand Slam champion of the 20th century was 16year-old Martina Hingis, who has managed to capture the title in 1997. The longest women\u2019s match in the whole history of Grand Slam, not only of the Australian Open, was played between Svetlana Kuznetsova and Francesca Schiavone, and lasted for 4 hours and 44 minutes. There are lots of outstanding tennis players, who have the honorary Open Era record. Among them are the following personalities: Serena Williams, Evonne Goolagong, Famers Margaret Court, Monica Seles and Steffi Graff.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A motivating prize pool makes this tournament especially attractive for all the participants. Traditionally, the prize money awarded in women\u2019s and men\u2019s singles tournaments is distributed in equal parts. The total prize money for the 2013 tournament accounts for 30,000,000 AUD. The prize pool was distributed in the following way:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

French Open<\/p>\n

The French Open, which is also known under the name of Roland Garros, is one of the most significant tennis tournaments, traditionally held in Paris, France between the end of May and the beginning of June.<\/p>\n

This exciting tournament was named after a well-known French aviator – Roland Garros. It is worth noting that it is the only tournament out of the four Majors which is held on clay and marks the end of the spring clay court season. Betting on the French Open is also an option most online bookmakers, like William Hill<\/a>, provide. The Australian Open precedes the French one, which is followed by Wimbledon and US Open. Most experts and tennis fans consider Roland Garros as the most physically demanding tennis competition in the world, because of the specific playing surface. The fact is that the clay surface slows down the game, and makes it more difficult for tennis players to move.<\/p>\n

Historical review<\/h2>\n

The history of the French Open began in 1891 when a national tennis tournament was first held. It was open exclusively to tennis players who belonged to the French Clubs. At first, the tournament was called the Championnat de France, which actually means the French Championships in English. It is worth noting that this championship was available only for men, but the situation changed in 1897 when the first women’s competition was held. Until 1924 this tournament was played only by the members of the French Clubs, and it was held in several locations: Tennis Club de Paris (surface: clay), Societe Athletique, Bordeaux (surface: clay), the Racing Club de France, Paris (surface: clay), and Ili de Puteaux (surface: sand).<\/p>\n

There is a tournament that is considered to be the precursor of the modern French Open – the World Hard Court Championship. It was held on clay courts in Saint-Cloud and Brussels. The tournament was popular for several years, but in 1924, it yielded its position in the Paris Olympic Games. The year 1928 was marked by the opening of the Roland Garros stadium, and since that time the tournament took place only there. It is worth noting that the stadium was named after the French national hero Roland Garros, who was a pilot during World War I. At first, the tournament was open mainly to amateurs, but in 1968, the situation changed and both amateurs and professionals were welcome, as you are welcome (and encouraged) to follow our French Open predictions!
