The French Open is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks between mid-May and early June in Paris, France, at the Stade Roland Garros. It is the second of the Grand Slam tournaments on the annual tennis calendar and the premier clay court tennis tournament in the world. It is one of the most prestigious events in tennis, and it has the widest worldwide broadcasting and audience of all events in this sport. Because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, some say that the event is the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world. ;D

^Well, she IS the new world no. 1 and was a finalist in 2008 so why not? Pero if you ask me, I pick Wozniacki and Dementieva for the final or possibly Jankovic and Ivanovic. It is interesting to note that the Williams sisters are shit on this particular tourney.  |
