Level: Grand Slam · 03 Jun – 06 Jun
Roland Garros, the French Open, is the clay-court Grand Slam, played each late May into June at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. Staged since 1891, it is the most physically demanding major: the slow red clay drags out rallies, neutralises big serves and rewards heavy topspin, movement and patience.
Because the surface is so distinctive, our model weights clay-specific Elo and surface form heavily here, and the projected total games tend to run higher than on quicker courts. Endurance over best-of-five sets is decisive — clay specialists routinely punch above their overall ranking, which the match read below reflects.
The French Open is a Grand Slam event on clay. This edition ran from 3 Jun 2026 to 6 Jun 2026.
