Roland Garros(Frech Open) begins May 24th in Paris

The Roland Garros Tournament , known throughout the world as the French Open, is underway. The warm ups and qualifiers play begins already. Officially from May 24 to June 7 tournament will be held in Paris, France.


Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal traveled on Wednesday to Paris with his sights set on a record fifth consecutive French Open title, saying he hopes he can play at his “best level”. The 22-year-old Nadal, who has never lost a match at tennis’ clay-court Grand Slam event, will play Roland Garros – which gets under way on May 24 – for the first time as world No. 1.

“If I play at my best level, I’m confident I’ll have a good result in Paris, and if that doesn’t happen, I have to take it in stride because I’ve having a really good year,” Nadal, the winner of five titles so far this season, said.


Nadal’s uncle and coach, Toni Nadal, said that just as in past years “Roland Garros will be a very difficult (challenge) and we’ll see what happens, although he’s coming in strong with good results throughout the year. There’s no additional pressure; it’s always the same. It’s clear that doubts (about Nadal’s clay-court dominance) may be raised after the win in Madrid by (Roger) Federer, who played a good match,”

“(Federer), (world No. 4 Novak) Djokovic, (world No. 3 Andy) Murray and a handful of other players can beat us and we’re aware that that can happen,” Toni Nadal said.
