French open over the years

With its slow and slippery red clay surface, the French Open remains one of the toughest tennis Grand Slams. Some of the sport’s greatest players, like Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova, won here, but were much less successful than in the other Slams.

In the men’s circuit, no one has ruled the French Open like Bjorn Borg did and as Rafael Nadal does now. But some of the biggest names, like John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker, never won it.
