The French Open (Tournoi de Roland-Garros) takes place at the famous Roland Garros stadium in Paris starting with the qualifiers from 24th May right through to the finals on 7th June 2009. The tournament is the 2nd of the Grand Slam tournaments of the tennis year and is the most prestigious clay court tennis event in the world.
The tournament has become a grudge match between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who have gone head to head in the final of this tournament in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with the Spaniard Rafael Nadal winning all 3 matches and has won the tournament 4 times in total in his career having beat Mariano Puerta in the 2005 tournament. We would like to think that this years tournament would be different and maybe someone can beat Nadal in the final, maybe even the English hopeful Andy Murray (currently at odds of 16/1) can do it and get past last years poor performance where he was out in the 3rd round as he has spent much of 2008 concentrating on improving his clay court performance.
