French Open 2012
Roland Garros is the second Grand Slam on the annual tennis calendar and
the
most important clay court tennis tournament of the ATP and WTA. The competition
is considered one of the most arduous, due to the surface, which tends to slow down
the ball and for the men's five-sets matches that doesn't allowed tiebreaks to settle a tie.
In 2012 Paris will be the hosting the 111th edition of Roland Garros, but since the beginning
of the Open Era (1968) there's been only 2 players that reached up to 6 titles each, Björn Borg and Rafael Nadal, who could become the one and only King of Clay if he conquers another title.
