What is the nickname of the French Open tennis championships? The French Open is commonly known as Roland Garros.

The name refers to Roland Garros, a French aviator and pioneering military pilot. The tournament is played at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, and both the venue and the championship use the name Roland-Garros in French. English-language coverage commonly alternates between “French Open” and “Roland Garros.”

The event began in 1891 as the French Championships, originally restricted to members of French clubs. It became open to international competitors in 1925 and later developed into one of tennis’s four Grand Slam tournaments. It is the only major played on outdoor red clay.

A common mix-up is confusing the tournament with its location: Stade Roland Garros is the complex, while Roland Garros is also the tournament’s widely used name. The French Open is the year’s second Grand Slam, following the Australian Open and preceding Wimbledon.
