French Open

May is the month when tennis fans really get into the action as the French Open, also known as the Roland Garros tournament kicks off what will become a consecutive series of major tennis events with Wimbledon and the US Open following shortly after in June and August respectively. There are only four Grand Slam tournaments each year and it is in these tournaments where stars are born and legends are made.

In the Men’s Division last year, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic battled in an epic final match that saw the former defeating the latter, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5. With Nadal continuing to improve his fitness level, we can expect him to make a gallant stand as he tries to defend his title and be hailed as the “King of Clay” for the eighth time in his career.

Serena Williams had a forgettable experience at the French Open last year after she suffered a monumental upset by getting booted out in the first round of the tournament by Virginie Razzano. This is one tournament where Serena has not really much success, only winning once way back in 2002. But, she had just recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the World Rankings making her an instant favorite to win it all in every tournament she participates in. The defending champion in the Women’s Division of the French Open is erstwhile World No. 1 Maria Sharapova.

Witness this prestigious event as BALLS will begin its coverage on Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 5:00 pm.
