French Open Tennis Championship 2010
The French Open is now at an end and we have had a great fortnight at Roland Garros with Rafa Nadal and Francesca Schiavone lifting the trophies over the weekend. Nadal looked awesome on Sunday when he beat Soderling in straight sets to lift his fifth French Open Crown, the win also ensures that Nadal regained the World No.1 ranking from Roger Federer and will head to Wimbledon full of confidence.
The Women's Final was played between Sam Stosur and Francesca Schiavone in an unlikely match up, but in the end it was a fantastic final won by the Italian who played an absolute blinder. She was hardly considered in the betting before the tournament but in the end she was by far the best player over the two weeks and Schiavone was ecstatic to win her first Grand Slam title

The red clay courts of Roland Garros are famed for producing a slower brand of tennis but with long absorbing and exciting rallies and is a surface that quite naturally suits a base line player.
The tournament has been running since 1891, but the Roland Gaross stadium did not start hosting the tournament until 1928. It is a superb French Open Venue and combined with its rich French Open Tennis History, the tournament has become one of the most viewed sporting events in the world today.

Roger Federer is the current mens champion and he will return this year and once again aiming for his second win at Roland Garros. He will not have it all his own way though with the four-time Champion Rafa Nadal to deal with and if he hits top form then he will be tough to beat. The Women's odds have been given some extra spice with the return of four-time Champion Justine Henin who has come out of retirement and will be looking for number five.
