Why is French Open called Roland-Garros?

The French Open is often referred to as Roland-Garros. While the name is popular, many remain unaware of its origin. In 1927, the French tennis team beat the US in the Davis Cup for the very first time. Later, they decided to have a stadium of their own. While it was being built, they ended up naming the stadium over Eugène Adrien Roland Georges Garros – a World War I pilot. 

He was the first one to fly over the Mediterranean and was not a tennis player. Actually, reports add that he played rugby. The stadium's history continues to World War II, where it was used as a concentration camp for six years (1939 to 1945).
