Roland Garros is played on the clay courts of Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. Within Paris, Stade Roland Garros is situated in the western side of the city, within Bois de Boulogne.

Emile Lesueur, president of the Stade Français during the early 20th century, named it after his former classmate. Roland Garros was a pilot in the First World War and considered a hero by many. Lesueur saw it fitting to name the tennis stadium after Garros – a man appraised for his honour, courage and pioneering-attitude.

Roland Garros began in 1891.

Roland Garros is played on clay, often referred to as the 'red clay' or the 'red dirt'. This clay is comprised of red brick dust, crushed white limestone, clinker (coal residue), crushed gravel and drain.
