It's time for the last Slam of the year. French Open in September/October? Crazy times.
Here are the draws:

There's a roof this year. And lights. Which will come handy. Lots of rain is expected, so it can still be a big challenge to keep things on schedule.

This will be the 53rd edition of the tournament in the open era.
There have been 27 male champions, 19 of them (70%) winning the title on just one occasion. 18 titles (35%) have been won by just 2 of the 27 champions. Just 8 of the men's finals have gone to 5 sets (15%), there have been 22 3 set finals and 22 4 set finals. There have been 28 female champions, 19 of them (68%) winning the title on just one occasion. 13 titles (25%) have been won by just 2 of the 28 champions. Just 21 of the women's finals have gone the distance (40%). Of all the Grand Slams, this one produces the highest number of first time Grand Slam winners. There have been 20 male first time winners, the youngest was just 17, the oldest was 34. There have been 18 female first time winners, the youngest was just 16, the oldest was 29. |

The strategy looks hit the ball side to side before the inevitable huge puff of wind means your opponent misses.

Also isn't the point of outdoor tournament to play outdoors when possible so why is roof shut on Chatrier when other courts all started as advertised.

What if Leo watches his mom rebel like this?
|
|
By:
Mertens and Gasparyan hasn't even started yet, so it's not the only court not playing.
|

By:
Sam Smith talking rubbish ,saying Azarenka can do what she likes as shes had injuries in the past ,Kovinic missed atrick ,shouldve just sat in her chair ,waiting for a default.
|
|
By:
There would never be a default though so she's just wasting her time doing that.
|
|
By:
Vika not getting defaulted. Kovinic would have just gotten herself a cold.

so theres no point in having rules or tournament officials/referees ,just let the players decide if and when they feel like playing ?

The worst venue in all of world sport is pitch 18 at Sheddocksley.
Nightmare to arrive there on a miserable day and learn that you had been allocated the pitch that no one wanted to play on.  |

By:
Yer I did lol at the I live in Florida when you're from Belarus one of the coldest countries in the world.

By:
I heard it actually rains all the time in Florida. They just don't show you on CSI Miami.
|
|
By:
It does rain all the time, but it rains while being 30 degrees.

Also the echo on Chatrier sounds horrific or is just mug sound on ITV? Everything echoes...

Goffin needs to learn how to serve.
