Private Driver Service for Roland Garros

The French Open, also known as Roland-Garros, is a Grand Slam tennis tournament played on clay, inaugurated in 1891 as the French Championships. The tournament takes place in Paris, at the Roland-Garros stadium, since 1928.

Organized by the French Tennis Federation (FFT), it is held between the last week of May and the first week of June, being the second Grand Slam of the year after the Australian Open, and before Wimbledon and the US Open. It is the only Grand Slam played on clay since the US Open abandoned this surface in 1978.

The tournament started with a few participants and has grown to attract the world's top players. Originally reserved for members of French clubs, it became international, with the first edition featuring only five players. The slow surface of Roland-Garros requires endurance and resilience, making this tournament one of the most demanding. Roland-Garros symbolizes excellence in tennis, reflecting sports and social evolutions.

Fun Fact: Rafael Nadal holds the record for the most victories with fourteen titles, underscoring his mastery on clay.
