Home to the French Open for over 80 years, the world-famous sporting venue hosts the international tennis tournament every year, with five days of qualifying rounds before the two-week-long main tournament begins.\nThe 2025 French Open is taking place in Paris May 19 – June 8, 2025.\nWhy is it called Roland-Garros?\nThe French Open is generally referred to as Roland-Garros by most non-English speakers. The tournament takes its name from the stadium in which the competition is played, the Roland-Garros Stadium, named for French aviator (and tennis fan) Roland Garros who died in 1918 during World War I. With the stadium serving as the longtime home of the competition, the name Roland-Garros became synonymous with the sporting event.\nThe French Open in France\nRoland-Garros is one of the most popular sporting events in France, with much of the country watching whether from the stands or on TV. This includes celebrities — pay close attention and you’re sure to spot some in the crowd! Luckily for tennis fans, this tournament takes place every year, unlike the FIFA World Cup, and many \ncafés and bars in Paris\n have screens to play all the matches.\nThe competition is so popular here, in fact, that it’s sometimes blamed for lowering the grades of French students who are supposed to be studying for exams that take place the same time of year.\nPhoto by Frédéric de Villamil CC BY-SA 2.0\nPast and present players\nWhile Spanish tennis hero Rafael Nadal holds the record for most wins on the Parisian \nterre battue\n with 14 total wins since 2005, Yannick Noah — father to NBA player Joakim Noah — is the last Frenchman to have won the “Coupe des Mousquetaires” (or Musketeers’ Cup, the name of the Men’s Singles Trophy) in 1983. For 2025, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz\n \nand Italy’s Janik Sinner are favorites to win.\nOn the women’s side, Canadian-born French-American Mary Pierce is the only French woman to win the Women’s Singles title since the tournament went open in 1968. French women have had a bit more luck in the Doubles competition, with Gail Chanfreau, Françoise Dürr, and Mary Pierce all earning the\nCoupe Simone Mathieu\nbefore Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic won in 2016.\nFor Roland Garros 2025, all eyes are on Polish player Iga Swiatek, the favorite to win the women’s tournament.\nGetting tickets to the French Open\nGeneral public sales start approximately two months before the tournament, opening in March usually, so it’s best to plan ahead. But don’t worry if you don’t have tickets yet and still want to go; last minute tickets and evening tickets are available in the days and weeks leading up to the event.\nTickets cannot be purchased on-site and must be reserved online\n through the \nRoland-Garros Official Website\n.\nEditor’s note: Article initially published May 24, 2019, last updated May 14, 2025 with information on this

Readable Markdown	Fuzzy yellow balls will soon be bouncing off the clay courts of the Roland-Garros Stadium in the west of Paris. Home to the French Open for over 80 years, the world-famous sporting venue hosts the international tennis tournament every year, with five days of qualifying rounds before the two-week-long main tournament begins. The 2025 French Open is taking place in Paris May 19 – June 8, 2025. ## Why is it called Roland-Garros? The French Open is generally referred to as Roland-Garros by most non-English speakers. The tournament takes its name from the stadium in which the competition is played, the Roland-Garros Stadium, named for French aviator (and tennis fan) Roland Garros who died in 1918 during World War I. With the stadium serving as the longtime home of the competition, the name Roland-Garros became synonymous with the sporting event. ## The French Open in France Roland-Garros is one of the most popular sporting events in France, with much of the country watching whether from the stands or on TV. This includes celebrities — pay close attention and you’re sure to spot some in the crowd! Luckily for tennis fans, this tournament takes place every year, unlike the FIFA World Cup, and many [cafés and bars in Paris](https://www.urbansider.com/city-guide/cafes-and-bars/) have screens to play all the matches. The competition is so popular here, in fact, that it’s sometimes blamed for lowering the grades of French students who are supposed to be studying for exams that take place the same time of year. ![Maria Sharapova playing on the clay courts at the French Open](https://www.urbansider.com/wp-content/uploads/Posts/Happening-Now/Marija_Sarapova_agli_Open_di_Francia_2011-1024x540.jpg) Photo by Frédéric de Villamil CC BY-SA 2.0 ## Past and present players While Spanish tennis hero Rafael Nadal holds the record for most wins on the Parisian terre battue with 14 total wins since 2005, Yannick Noah — father to NBA player Joakim Noah — is the last Frenchman to have won the “Coupe des Mousquetaires” (or Musketeers’ Cup, the name of the Men’s Singles Trophy) in 1983. For 2025, Spain’s Carlos Alcarazand Italy’s Janik Sinner are favorites to win. On the women’s side, Canadian-born French-American Mary Pierce is the only French woman to win the Women’s Singles title since the tournament went open in 1968. French women have had a bit more luck in the Doubles competition, with Gail Chanfreau, Françoise Dürr, and Mary Pierce all earning the Coupe Simone Mathieu before Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic won in 2016. For Roland Garros 2025, all eyes are on Polish player Iga Swiatek, the favorite to win the women’s tournament. ![Roland Garros logo](https://www.urbansider.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Logo_Roland-Garros.svg.png) ## Getting tickets to the French Open General public sales start approximately two months before the tournament, opening in March usually, so it’s best to plan ahead. But don’t worry if you don’t have tickets yet and still want to go; last minute tickets and evening tickets are available in the days and weeks leading up to the event.
