The French Open 2023 will feature 20 events and 891 matches at Paris' Stade Roland-Garros, where Tournament Director Amelie Mauresmo says organisers are aiming to help fans "feel the emotions" of the second grand slam of the year.

The 127th edition of the flagship clay tournament on the tennis calendar will take place 132 years after it was first held, when it was originally known as the Championnat de France and was only open to players at French clubs.

"It really means a lot to me," said former world No.1 Mauresmo, speaking at the launch of this year's spectacle. "It is a part of my DNA."
