The tournament ran from 26 May until 3 June. It was the 34th staging of the French Championships and the second Grand Slam tournament of the year.

Famous quotes containing the word french:
“Much that is urged on us new parents is useless, because we didn’t really choose it. It was pushed on us. It—whether it be Raffi videos, French lessons, or the complete works of Brazelton—might be just right for you and your particular child. But it is only right when you feel that it is. You know your family best; you decide.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
