Now tennis has become an Olympic sport and is played by people of all ages and different countries. The professional sport of tennis is divided into four Grand Slam tournaments and many other smaller tournaments. The four tournaments are the Australian Open (Australia), the U.S. Open, Wimbledon (England), and the French Open (France). (United States of America). Of all the Grand Slam tournaments, the French Open has been the most influential and popular tournament to France and the French people.
