However in this tournament all the events are played on a clay court. This provides a great challenge to the participants as the clay courts tent to slow down the ball pace and give an extra bounce to the ball. So the strategy of playing changes. The 1988 French Open Tennis Tournament was one of the events to be held in these courts.
