I’m hoping that this year’s French Open results shows Justine Henin winning again. She has won the past three years and she hold the record of most consecutive women’s singles French Open titles, consecutively, with Monica Seles. If she wins this year, she will break her own record.

Henin went through a very public divorce and still won last year. She seemed to have a lot of determination and since she did not lose a match, her French Open scores showed it to the world.

For the men’s singles, I hope to see Roger Federer finally win. He has lost the past two years to his rival Rafael Nadal. These two have one of those relationships where the competitiveness between them drives them to be even better. But Federer is aging out of professional tennis and this is the only Grand Slam event that he hasn’t won.

So, hopefully the French Open news will show Roger finally winning the beautiful sterling silver Roland Garros trophy.

The French Open, is a major Grand Slam tennis tournament held during May and June each year.  It is the major clay court tournament and boasts the largest worldwide audience for all tennis tournaments.

The clay courts make for a slow playing surface which means it is considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.  Certain players specialize in this type of play and the result is that many renowned players (for example: Roger Federer, Jimmy Conners and Pete Sampras) have never won this grand slam tournament.

The French Open Tennis Tournament is held each year in the Stade de Roland Garros in Paris France.
