Believe it or not, the French Open, renowned for being played on slow red clay, was initially played on grass! The tournament was first played in Paris in 1891. In 1897, a women's singles was added as well. But it wasn't until 1925 that non-French players were allowed to compete. The stadium was named after Roland Garros , a famous French aviator, and former tennis player, who was the first man to fly over the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately for the French, the success of French players has been limited. The last French man to win the singles title was Yannick Noah in 1983 and the last female was Mary Pierce in 2000.
