	French Open (tennis) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French Open, officially the Tournoi de Roland-Garros (English: Roland Garros Tournament), is a tennis event held over two weeks between mid May and early June in Paris, France, and is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar.
		The French Open began as a national tournament in 1891.
		On the female side of tennis, the French Open is the title that has prevented players such as Lindsay Davenport from achieving a career Grand Slam and in 1997, it was the only Grand Slam that a 16-year old Martina Hingis failed to win.

		The French Open (or the Rolland Garros) tennis tournament, held from the middle of May to the beginning of June in Paris, France, is the second of the world's Grand Slam in tennis tournaments.

		And Johansson's 7-6 (4), 6-1, 6-3 defeat against Arnaud Clement of France was perhaps simply a case of a one-hit wonder returning to form.
		Before winning the Australian Open in January, Johansson had reached only two quarterfinals in 24 Grand Slam events; he's never been past the second round in Paris.
