The 2011 French Open (French: Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros or Tournoi de Roland-Garros) is a major tennis tournament held from May 22, 2011 – June 5, 2011 in Paris, France, at the Stade Roland Garros.

The French Open is the second of the four Grand Slam tournaments (French Open, Australian Open, US Open, and Wimbledon) 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 surface and the five-set men’s singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.

Officially named in French the Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros or Tournoi de Roland-Garros (the “French Internationals of Roland Garros” or “Roland Garros Tournament” in English), the tournament is often referred to as the “French Open” and sometimes simply as “Roland Garros.”

The French Open event began as a national tournament in 1891 as the Championat de France International de Tennis. In 1912, the French Open tournament was held with a different surface (at the time all tennis played was lawn tennis), a red clay (“terre battue”), made up from the crushed wastes of red brick. Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a high bounce when compared to grass courts or hard courts. For this reason, the clay court takes away some advantage of big serves, which makes it hard for serve based players to dominate on the surface.

Grounds Passes or ” Annexe tickets”, are very popular as there are many matches to enjoy throughout the tournament on the outside courts or “courts annexes”. These French Open Grounds Passes will give you access to all the outside courts but do not offer access to the stadiums Phillipe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen, or Court 1. Get your seats early as they come on a first come first served basis so it’s important to know where the matches you’re interested in will be taking place. The first week consists of many singles matches. As the tournament progresses there’ll be mainly main draw doubles, mixed doubles, junior and senior matches played on the outside courts. In addition to the action on the courts you’ll be able to enjoy all the excitement that Roland Garros has to offer including the Practice Courts which are great for autographs, Souvenir Areas, Food areas, and of course the excitement in the “Place des Mousquetaires” where hundreds of fans congregate between Court 1 and Center Court Philippe Chatrier to watch the action taking place on the main show courts on the Huge Screen.

A Ticket on Court Phillipe Chatrier or Suzanne Lenglen gives you a reserved seat for the entire day on that particular court with access to all the outside courts, but you don’t have access to any of the other Show Courts including Court #1 as each Show Court requires a separate ticket. For instance, if you have a ticket for the Phillipe Chatrier Court you cannot access the Suzanne Lenglen or Court 1 and vice versa. Both Show courts (Phillipe Chatrier and Suzanne Lenglen) offer  equal level of matches through Wednesday of the Second week with top seeds players. From Thursday of the second week through the end of the tournament all featured singles matches are played only on the Phillipe Chatrier Center Court and therefore all Show Court tickets from Thursday of the second week till the end of the tournament will only be on Court Philippe Chatrier.
It is impossible to know which court a certain player will be placed in advance as this is determined only the night before.The overall seating capacity on the Philippe-Chatrier Court is 14,840.
