Roland Garros
Clay court in Paris, 17 May to 7 Jun 2026.
The Roland Garros in short
The Roland Garros is a Grand Slam event held in Paris on clay courts, usually in May and June. The main singles draw holds 128 players.
Surface decides more here than most fans expect. Clay slows the ball and lifts the bounce, which rewards defence and long rallies, and it is why the clay specialists cluster near the top of this draw every year.
Our dates count the main draw only. Qualifying runs the week before and most calendars fold it in, which is why a start date printed elsewhere can be a week earlier than ours. The full draw with scores is updated while the tournament runs.
