The second grand slam tournament of the year is here - the French Open 2009. I'm so excited to watch Roland Garros 2009 live stream online videos and see my favorite tennis superstars play on the outdoor clay courts.
The 2009 Roland Garros or French Open happens at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France from May 24 through June 7. The champions of from last year, the 2008 Roland Garros are the following:
Men's Singles: Spain - Rafael Nadal
Women's Singles: Serbia - Ana Ivanovic
Men's Doubles: Uruguay - Pablo Cuevas / Peru - Luis Horna
Women's Doubles: Spain Anabel Medina Garrigues / Spain - Virginia Ruano Pascual
Mixed Doubles: Belarus Victoria Azarenka / United States Bob Bryan
When you watch Roland Garros live, you'll notice that the ball usually moves slower because of the clay courts. Thus, it considered to be the most tiring and physically demanding than any tennis tournament in the world.
In France, it is officially called Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros or Tournoi de Roland-Garros. The winners of the French Open will get prize money and trophies made of pure silver with finely etched decorations on their side, each new singles winner gets his or her name written on the plate holding the trophy.
Many people are excited to watch Roland Garros 2009 live stream online. I am one of them. But I will also watch it on television too. How about you? Are you going to watch it online via live streaming video websites or in television?
