2008 French Open at Roland Garros is almost here

seth-edward-oneal.jpgBonjour tennis fans! (I've always wanted to say that...)

The 2008 French Open at Roland Garros will kick start from May 25 through June 8 in Paris, France, at the Stade de 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.

The French Open is one of the most prestigious events in tennis because of the slow playing clay surface and the five-set men's singles matches without a tie break in the final set.

It is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.

The Tournoi de Roland-Garros, commonly known as the French Open, is played on clay courts that usually slows down the ball and produces a high bounce compared to grass or hard courts.

The French Open championship is also the title that has prevented female players like Lindsay Davenport, Maria Sharapova, and Martina Hingis from achieving career Grand Slams.

Three time French Open champion Rafael Nadal and Belgian Justine Henin banner the Men’s Singles Championship and Women’s Singles Championship respectively as they both won the coveted French Open championship from 2005-2007.

Nadal and Henin will be gunning for their fourth title in the coming 2008 French Open championships.

Who will win the 2008 French Open at Roland Garros? Bodog sportsbook has the odds.

Rafael Nadal 1.71

Justine Henin 2.60
