The tennis tournament that awards the Musketeers’ Cup to its men’s singles champion is the French Open.
Known in French as the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the trophy is presented to the winner of the men’s singles event at Roland-Garros in Paris. Its name honours France’s “Four Musketeers”: Jacques Brugnon, Jean Borotra, Henri Cochet and René Lacoste, who dominated French tennis and helped France win the Davis Cup during the 1920s and early 1930s.
The trophy’s current design was created in 1981 by the Parisian jewellery house Mellerio. It has vine-leaf decoration and two swan-shaped handles, while its front is engraved with “Internationaux de France,” the tournament’s official French name.
The original silver cup remains with the French Tennis Federation rather than travelling home with the champion. Winners receive a smaller silver replica. The women’s singles champion receives a different trophy, the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen, named for the legendary French player.
