1.
The French Open, or 'Roland Garros', is the second major tennis event of the year
2.
For two weeks tennis descends on Paris and...gets dirty
3.
This annual tennis slip 'n slide is only for the sure-footed
4.
Ain't nobody afraid of a few raindrops here
5.
There's no 'Hawkeye' to make the calls for you
6.
You really, really don't want to annoy the crowd...
7.
...unless you're willing to shout right back
8.
Still, there will be a certain elegance about the affair
9.
Roland Garros is easily the most photogenic of the slams
10.
For a decade, Rafael Nadal has reigned as King here
11.
Still, a lot of people think 2015 will be the year of Novak
12.
Andy Murray won the most clay titles this year but NOBODY thinks he'll win
13.
Maria "Claypova" Sharapova is the defending women's champion
14.
She'll face stiff competition from her eternal nemesis, Serena Williams
15.
There's bound to be a few shock wins along the way, too
16.
If you've never really fallen for tennis, this is where you should start...
17.
...because the tennis at Roland Garros is ALWAYS incredible
18.
No but really the tennis is as good as it gets
19.
The players will keep trying even when they can walk no longer
20.
So you'd better limber up ready for the drama
21.
After two gruelling weeks, great champions will be crowned
