The Roland-Garros tournament, also known as the French Internationals, is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. It has taken place every year since 1925 at Roland-Garros stadium in Paris. The tournament takes place on twenty clay courts, the main one being the Philippe-Chatrier court. Matches are played in five sets, with no deciding game in the last set. Qualifiers take place over four days, and then the fortnight-long competition starts. The Musketeers’ Cup is awarded to the winner of the men’s singles, and the Suzanne Lenglen cup to the winner of the ladies’ singles. There are also trophies for the winners of the men’s doubles, ladies’ doubles and mixed doubles.
