The French Open (French: Internationaux de France de tennis), also known as Roland-Garros ( French: [ʁɔlɑ̃ ɡaʁos]), is a tennis tournament organized by the French Tennis Federation annually at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. It is chronologically the second of the four Grand Slam tennis events every year, held after the Australian Open and before Wimbledon and the US Open. It was established in 1891 but it did not become a Grand Slam level event until 1925.

The French Open begins in late May and continues for two weeks. The tournament and venue are named after the French aviator Roland Garros.
