In this Monday, May 27, 2019, file photo, Spain's Rafael Nadal prepares to serve against Germany's Yannick Hanfmann during their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris. English-speakers tend to go with “French Open”, even though that's not used by the event itself. Most of the rest of the world says “Roland Garros”, which is the facility that hosts the tournament and is named in memory of a World War I fighter pilot. But what hardly ever is uttered is the original name of the tournament “Internationaux de France”, which translates to “International Championships of France”. (Photo by Pavel Golovkin/AP Photo/File)
