What month does the French Open start every year?

French Open, referred to as "French Open", is a tennis tournament held at Roland Galos Stadium in Paris, France. Usually held from May to June every year, it is the second Grand Slam tournament held every year.

This tournament is the second grand slam tournament after the Australian Open every year. The competition was founded in 1891, and in 1968 it became the first grand slam competition to enter the Open Era.

The venue is an outdoor clay court. Because the ball speed of the clay court is slow, which is conducive to the bottom line confrontation, and the men's singles competition adopts the best-of-five system, some competitions often last nearly 4 hours. It is precisely because it is extremely difficult to win in such a venue that players should have superior skills and amazing perseverance.

The French Open, like wimbledon championships, has a little more suspense when predicting the champion because of the special venue, with few exceptions. This also makes the clay court special.

"The clay court is a slow court, and the ball will bounce high and spin strongly." "Competing on clay also requires players to have good physical fitness, because it is difficult to score every point and there are many boards." Wang Yue, the former coach of China Tennis Team, said that it is the most difficult to win the championship on clay court, which is different from being fatal with hard serve and forehand volleying. People who win the championship here are usually very comprehensive in skills.

There is another set of rules on the clay court: patient stalemate, strong topspin and crazy running.
