Roland Garros
Roland Garros
or the French Open is a tennis tournament held in the capital
of France, Paris. It is the second Grand Slam tournament in the tennis
calendar year and takes place in the last week of May and the first week of
June. Before it is the Australian Open, which lasts two
weeks in January. After Roland Garros comes Wimbledon, held
every June or July, and the US Open, the last Grand
Slam tournament, played at the end of August and beginning of September.
Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam in the world played on clay. Given that it is played on a unique surface that involves
a slower pace, higher bounce, etc., it is considered the most physically demanding tournament in the world. In the men's competition, matches are best of five sets, while in the women's competition, victories are decided in best of three sets.
In 1968, the French Open became the first "open"
tournament where amateurs and professionals could compete equally.

Brief History of the Roland Garros Tournament
The Roland Garros tournament was first played in 1891, and a new stadium was opened in 1928. That stadium, along with the entire tournament, is named after Roland Garros, a French World War I hero.
The early days of this prestigious tennis tournament involved only tennis players who were members of French clubs. The first winner of the tournament was H. Briggs, a Briton who was a member of a French club. The first women's tournament was played in 1897, mixed doubles were added in 1902, and women's doubles in 1907. The tournament was not held from 1915 to 1919 due to World War I. Until 1924, it was held at four locations.
In 1925, the tournament was declared a major championship and opened to international participants. From then on, it began to be organized on clay courts until the Roland Garros stadium was finally opened, and all events were moved to this venue. Tennis authorities were offered 3 hectares of land for the construction of the stadium, with the condition that the stadium bears the name of a World War I aviator, thus the agreement was made.
In 1946 and 1947, the French Championships were held after Wimbledon, and in 1968, it became the first Grand Slam tournament where amateurs and professionals could compete.
Since 2006, the tournament starts on Sunday, and since 2007, equal prize money is awarded to both male and female participants.
Popularity of Roland Garros in the 21st Century
The popularity of tennis and the Roland Garros tournament, even in our region, is evident from the number of television broadcasts, and the number of visitors to all four Grand Slam tournaments. All sports enthusiasts love to watch at least some tennis matches and always have their favorite player. People often identify with players, rejoice in their successes, and get frustrated over easily gifted points.
Roland Garros and its competitions, available to viewers worldwide, have allowed the expansion of interest in tennis in the 21st century. More and more young children want to train in tennis, follow tennis matches, the ATP list of tennis players, get informed about players' forms, making this sport ranked among the most popular sports in the world.
The initiative to cover the Roland Garros stadium started back in 2004, but the covering and addition of more seats for the audience was constantly postponed. The renovation of the Roland Garros tennis courts began in 2018, as the popularity of this tennis tournament increased the need to provide maximum enjoyment to the spectators.
The first tournament after the renovation was played at the end of September and the beginning of October 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, the tournament was played in its usual period, at the end of May and beginning of June.
Roland Garros Prize Money
The prize fund for the Roland Garros competition changes every year. For 2021, the monetary prize was reduced compared to previous years, likely due to the global impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to 2021 data, the winner in the men's category wins €1,400,000, the same for women, while the monetary prize for winning mixed doubles is €244,294, not to mention the inevitable prestige that encompasses ATP
Roland Garros.
Second-place finishers in the tournament, according to the order mentioned, win €750,000, €144,074, and €61,000 respectively. Semi-finalists receive €375,000, €84,749, and €31,000, while quarter-finalists get €255,000, €49,853, and €17,500, along with a better position in the ATP Roland Garros rankings.
It's evident that all the prizes are highly attractive, so it's no wonder that competing in Roland Garros is the dream of every professional tennis player. Besides the large monetary reward, every tennis player would love to lift the trophy and carry the title of winner of this magnificent tournament, as well as fight for a better ranking on the ATP Roland Garros list.

The tennis final at Roland Garros is the ultimate meeting of the best tennis players, and victory is achieved in best of five sets.
