The 2012 French Open will begin on Saturday as the tennis world shifts its eyes to Paris, where the best players in the sport will take on challenging opponents and the famous clay court of Roland Garros.

Rafael Nadal of Spain has won six of the last seven men's singles titles at Roland Garros, and a win this year would give him the most men's singles titles ever in the post-1925 era.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic is dominating men's tennis right now, having won the last three Grand Slam singles titles. However, he has never won the French Open, so he will be motivated to win the only Grand Slam title that has eluded him thus far in his career.



On the women's side, Li Na of China is the defending singles champion, and she will have to battle a tough field that will include Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and 2012 Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka.

The French Open is the hardest Grand Slam tournament to win because of the great stamina and strength needed to dominate on the clay court surface, which means there will be many intense and exciting matches that will go the distance over the course of the tournament.
