  • Summary

  • The Roland Garros Tennis tournament is a two weeklong event held In Paris at the end of May every year. The event draws more than 600,000 spectators to watch the world’s best tennis players compete to be the Champion of the French Open. Not surprisingly if you google the name Roland Garros today, you’ll see pictures of tennis courts and perhaps Rafael Nadal, who’s won a record 14 times. Therefore, it may be surprising that Roland Garros was not a great tennis player. He was a pioneering aviator, a hero of France, and the world’s first fighter pilot.
