About the French Open 2027
The French Open, known as Roland-Garros in France, is the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world and the only Grand Slam played on this unique surface. Held annually in Paris since 1891, it represents the second Grand Slam of the tennis calendar year, following the Australian Open and preceding Wimbledon and the US Open.
What makes Roland-Garros truly special is its distinctive red clay surface, which slows down the ball and creates higher bounces compared to grass or hard courts. This unique characteristic rewards players with exceptional stamina, strategic thinking, and the ability to construct points over longer rallies. The slower surface favors defensive play and requires players to adapt their game significantly, making it a true test of all-around tennis ability.
The 2027 edition will take place from May 23 to June 6 at the historic Stade Roland-Garros in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The tournament features five main events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, along with junior and wheelchair competitions. Over the two-week period, fans can witness more than 250 matches across 20+ courts, including the newly renovated Philippe-Chatrier Court with its innovative retractable roof.
