There's no Grand Slam like the French Open, because there's no Grand Slam court like Roland-Garros. It doesn't really matter how powerful a player is or how fast their serves or shots are.

This is the tournament that broke Pete Sampras. It pushed Roger Federer to the point of exhaustion and beyond. It has and will continue to give some of the best players on the planet mighty fits. However, it also turned Rafael Nadal into a legend.
