The French Open is a main tennis tournament that happens generally within two weeks between late May and early June in Paris, France, at the Stade Roland Garros. It is the second of the Grand Slam championships on the yearly tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis contest in the world. Roland Garros is the only Grand Slam still held on clay and ends the spring clay court season.
It is one of the most important events in tennis, and it has the widest universal broadcasting and viewers of all usual events in this game. Because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is extensively measured to be the most bodily demanding tennis contest in the world.
The singles champions for 2009 are the Swiss Male Roger Federer and the Russian Female Svetlana Kuznetsova.
