The French Open, also known as Roland-Garros, is an annual tennis tournament held over two weeks in May and June. Established in 1891 and played since 1928 on outdoor red clay courts at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France,[1] the French Open is (since 1925) one of the four Grand Slam tournaments played each year, the other three being the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Organised by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de Tennis (FFT), the French Open is the second of the four Grand Slam tournaments of the year to be played.[2] In 1968, it was the first Grand Slam tournament to open to non-amateur players.\n
Rafael Nadal has won 14 French Open titles which is a record for any player, male or female, in any major tournament. He also holds the record for the most consecutive wins in the Open Era, with five from 2010 to 2014.[5]Max Decugis won eight French Championships prior to the Open Era.[6]Michael Chang became the youngest player in the Open Era to win the French Open when he took the title in 1989 at 17 years, 3 months and 20 days.[7] In contrast, Novak Djokovic is the oldest champion of the Open Era, who won the 2023 French Open at 36 years, twenty days.[8] French players have won the most French Open men's singles titles, with 38 victories, followed by players from Spain (20) and Australia (11). The current champion is Novak Djokovic, who beat Casper Ruud in the 2023 final.[9]\n
\nRafael Nadal, who has won an all-time record fourteen French Open titles. Nadal won four consecutive titles on two separate occasions from 2005 to 2008 and 2017\u20132020, and an open era record of five consecutive titles from 2010 to 2014.\n
The French Open was established in 1891 and was originally known as the French Championships.[10] The tournament was only open to French players or foreign players who were a member of a French club during the first 34 years of its existence.[11] The first winner of the Championship was the British player H. Briggs, a member of Club Stade Fran\u00e7ais which entitled him to compete.[12] Records show matches were played as the best-of-three sets format until 1902 or 1903, when best-of-five sets was adopted. French players were dominant in the early stages of the tournament, in particular Max Decugis, who won eight titles before the outbreak of the First World War.[13]\n
Between 1924 and 1932 the title was won by a member of The Four Musketeers. The championship started to attract the best players after it became an international event in 1925, which was won by Ren\u00e9 Lacoste. France's victory in the 1927 Davis Cup increased interest in the tournament and required a new stadium to be built. Previously the tournament had alternated between Racing Club and La Faisanderie, before the Stade Roland Garros was built in 1928.[14]Henri Cochet won the first tournament at the new venue.[15]\n
Jack Crawford's victory in 1933 was the first time a foreign player had won the tournament since 1891. Following his victory, no French players won the title up until 1940, when the tournament was suspended following the outbreak of the Second World War. Don Budge's victory in 1938 was notable, as he won all of the Grand Slam tournaments during the year.[16] Though the event was suspended in 1940, it was held unofficially under the guise of the Tournoi de France. Bernard Destremau won the first two events, while Yvon Petra won three from 1942 to 1945. These results are not recognised by the FFT or other major international organisations and are considered unofficial.[4]Marcel Bernard won the first event after the end of the war in 1946; he was the only Frenchman to win the event before the advent of the Open era in 1968.[13]\n
No one player dominated the event during this period. Only five players, Frank Parker, Jaroslav Drobn\u00fd, Tony Trabert, Nicola Pietrangeli and Roy Emerson, won multiple titles.[13] The tournament became an Open in 1968, as professional players were allowed to compete with amateurs, previously only amateurs could compete in the Grand Slam tournaments.[17] The tournament, won by Australian Ken Rosewall, was the first Grand Slam tournament to be played in the Open era.[18]\n
Swede Bj\u00f6rn Borg won the majority of the tournaments in the early years of the Open era. He won consecutive titles in 1974 and 1975, before winning four successive titles from 1978 to 1981.[19]Yannick Noah became the first Frenchman to win the event since 1946, when he won in 1983.[20]Ivan Lendl won his first title in 1984, before losing the following year to Wilander in the final and won two consecutive titles in 1986 and 1987.[19]Michael Chang became the youngest man to win the French Open when he beat Stefan Edberg in 1989.[21]\n
\nHenri Cochet, the most successful French player since the tournament became open in 1925. He won five titles between 1922 and 1932. \nBj\u00f6rn Borg won six titles from 1974 to 1981. \nIvan Lendl won three titles and made two more finals.\nMats Wilander won three titles in his career.\nGustavo Kuerten won all three of his major trophies at the French Open.\nRafael Nadal is the record fourteen-time champion. He holds a 112\u20133 win\u2013loss record at the event.\n

Several professional tennis players were once asked: Over the course of a one-week tournament, which day would you be satisfied at last exiting the tournament? The most frequent answer was Friday \u2013 a quarterfinal appearance.
But when Jimmy Connors was asked this, he replied with a trademark counterpunch: \u201cWhat do you think is the only day that matters for me?\u201d
The implicit answer: Sunday \u2013 the finals.\u00a0No man in the Open era has played more singles finals than Connors.\u00a0On this Sunday, October 22, 1989, in Tel Aviv, Connors prepared to play his 164th, in hopes of winning his 109th singles title.
It had been an epic career.\u00a0Connors won his first singles championship as a teenager and continued to rack up victories well into his 30s.\u00a0The first had come in January 1972.\u00a0In Jacksonville, Florida, Connors beat veteran American Clark Graebner in the finals. From there, Connors was off to the races, winning five more tournaments in \u201972.\u00a0Many years, the Connors title tally hit double digits \u2013 11 in 1973, 15 in \u201874, 12 in \u201976, 10 in \u201978.
Fittingly, Connors reached the century mark at his favorite tournament, the US Open, taking the title in 1983 with a satisfying four-set victory over Ivan Lendl.\u00a0In 1984, the year Connors turned 32, he earned five titles, the fifth coming in Tokyo, where once again Connors beat Lendl in the finals \u2013 tournament win number 105.
Connors' record 109 singles titles still stands to this day.
But then came a surprising drought.\u00a0Though over the next three years, Connors played consistently enough to remain a top ten mainstay, not once during this time did he win a singles title.\u00a0Nine times from 1985-\u201987, Connors reached finals.\u00a0The drought continued in early \u201988, Connors the bridesmaid at tournaments in Milan and Key Biscayne.
Finally, in July, in Washington, D.C., Connors once again lifted the champion\u2019s trophy.\u00a0Later that year came a triumphant run in Toulouse.
A year later, the 37-year-old Connors defended his title in Toulouse with a sparkling 6-3, 6-3 win over his fiercest rival, John McEnroe. The next week, Connors headed across the Mediterranean to Israel.
His opponent in the finals was Israeli Gilad Bloom, a crisp-hitting, 22-year-old lefthander then ranked 181 in the world who a year later would reach a career-high of 61.\u00a0Bloom surprised Connors in the first set, taking it 6-2 and breaking serve to start the second. But, as he had so often, Connors rebounded sharply, taking the next two, 6-2, 6-1.\u00a0As Bloom recalled years later in a New York Tennis Magazine article, \u201cConnors changed his game completely and started attacking my serve relentlessly, even coming to the net on my first serves! This was not his usual game, but it surprised me and changed the match completely. He simply raised his level of play.\u201d
Title 109 proved to be Connors\u2019 last \u2013 a record that still stands (Roger Federer is second with 103).
Bloom on this day had joined a large club: Competitors overtaken by a man as tenacious as anyone in tennis history.\u00a0As Connors liked to say, \u201cI hate to lose more than I love to win.\u201d

Michel Sutter, Vainqueurs Winners 1946\u20132003, Paris 2003. Sutter has attempted to list all tournaments meeting his criteria for selection beginning with 1946 and ending in the fall of 1991. For each tournament, he has indicated the city, the date of the final, the winner, the runner-up, and the score of the final. A tournament is included in his list if: (1), the draw for the tournament included at least eight players (with a few exceptions, such as the Pepsi Grand Slam tournaments in the second half of the 1970s); and (2), the level of the tournaments was at least equal to the present-day challenger tournaments. Sutter's book probably is the most exhaustive source of tennis tournament information since World War II, even though some professional tournaments held before the start of the open era are missing. Later, Sutter issued a second edition of his book, with only the players, their wins, and years for the period of 1946 through April 27, 2003.
