Ok, so I know the French open is a fair way off, but I will be in Paris in May/June for 3 weeks so I've talked my fiancée into taking in a day of the French open. I've registered for tickets already and they go on sale tomorrow.
It's probably the grand slam I least wanted to attend, but I always planned on going to all of them eventually so we might as well take the opportunity while we are there. As it draws closer, and with the fact that I will soon have tickets in my hand I'm actually obviously getting pretty excited about it. Like last year when I went to see the Knicks play at Madison square garden, getting the tickets was a huge buzz in itself.
I thought I'd start a thread here to ask if anyone here has ever been to Roland Garros? If so, what is it like for spectators, any tips or advice for people like me heading there for the first time? What are the facilities/grounds like compared to Melbourne Park etc.? Hopefully someone here has got some good French open stories to share.
