French Open men's singles champions are crowned at an annual tennis tournament held over two weeks in May and June. Established in 1891 and played since 1928 on outdoor red clay courts at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, the French Open is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments played each year which include the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Organised by the Fédération Française de Tennis, the French Open is the second of the four Grand Slam tournaments to be played each year. The winner of the men's singles event receives the Coupe des Mousquetaires, named after The Four Musketeers of French tennis: Jean Borotra, Jacques Brugnon, Henri Cochet, and René Lacoste. Rafael Nadal (pictured) has won the most French Open titles, with nine, and also holds the record for the most consecutive wins in the Open era, with five from 2010 to 2014. French players have won the most French Open men's singles titles, with 38 victories, followed by Spanish (12) and Australian players (11). (Full list...)
