The 1927 French Championships (now known as the French Open) was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor clay ourts at the Stade Francais in Paris, France. The tournament ran from 27 May until 5 June. It was the 32nd staging of the French Championships and the second Grand Slam tournament of the year.
Kornelia Bouman became the first foreign woman to win the women's singles event and the first, and only, Dutch woman to win a Grand Slam singles title.
Famous quotes containing the word french:
“In matter of commerce the fault of the Dutch
Is offering too little and asking too much.
The French are with equal advantage content,
So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent.”
—George Canning (1770–1827)
