The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament held on clay and is widely considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.
Although the competition in Paris normally takes place in the last week in May and the first week in June, in 2020, the Roland-Garros tournament will now be played over three weeks, from 21st September to 11th October. The Parisian Grand Slam has been granted an extra week of competition, which means the qualifying tournament can be played from 21st September. The main competition will be from Sunday 27th September to 11th October.
