French Open Tickets

Ninety percent skill and 10 percent luck, winning the Grand Slam of tennis is one of the impossible feats in modern sports. Nonetheless, every year there is talk on every form of sports media as the winners of the Australian Open enter the French Open. The heat is truly on as pundits, fans, and athletes clamor for a Grand Slam Champion. Sometimes with this amount of attention, the difficulty and prestige of the French Open takes an undeserved backseat.

With a history going well over 100 years, the French Open is one of the great sporting tournaments in Europe and the rest of the world. Having stood the test of time and two World Wars, the resilient French Open remains a tennis career maker. Much of the legacy of Bjorn Borg was built in the French Open, where he took the title six times, including four straight. The modern day tennis beast that is Roger Federer has also established quite a legacy of his own at the French Open and has garnered many Grand Slam Champion hopes.

In the 2008 French Open, the arch rival of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, took the French Open Championship after besting him in the finals. Rafael Nadal laid the whispers of a Grand Slam Champion to rest when he eliminated Australian Open Champion Novak Djokovic in the later rounds. Maria Sharapova also saw her dreams of Grand Slam supremacy go up in smoke as Dinara Safina upset her only to lose in the French Open Finals to Ana Ivanovic.

Combined with the Australian Open, the French Open sets the trend for the entire tennis season. With the Grand Slam of tennis hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on the French Open as fans hope for history to be made in their time. The only way to see the Grand Slam play out in full is to catch the French Open live in Paris. Order your French Open tennis tickets from OnlineTickets.com today!
