How to read Roland-Garros matches
Clay changes how tennis looks. Players slide into balls instead of stopping on a dime. Expect more long rallies and more breaks of serve than on faster courts. Watch these things during a match:
- Stamina and footwork: Winners often come from outlasting opponents rather than pure power.
- Topspin and placement: Heavy topspin forces errors and opens the court on clay.
- Second-serve returns: A strong return game pays off because service advantage shrinks.
- Weather and court condition: Rain and humidity slow or speed the ball; that changes tactics quickly.
If you like stats, tracking break points, first-serve percentage, and unforced errors gives the clearest picture of who controls the match.
We also flag players to watch: established clay specialists, top seeds fighting for the title, and young players who thrive on long points. Our write-ups explain why a player’s game suits clay or not, so you understand upsets without needing a coach’s manual.
