The 2020 French Open was a major tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts. It was held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. Originally scheduled for 24 May to 7 June, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was first moved to 20 September to 4 October 2020, then later moved back a week further to 27 September to 11 October 2020. Qualifying matches, comprising singles and doubles play, began 21 September. Junior and wheelchair tournaments were also scheduled. Rafael Nadal was the twelve-time and defending champion in men's singles; Ashleigh Barty was the defending champion in women's singles but chose not to defend her title following concerns over the pandemic.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/sep/08/world-no-1-ash-barty-to-skip-french-open-title-defence-due-to-covid-concerns|title=World No 1 Ash Barty to skip French Open title defence due to Covid concerns|work=The Guardian|date=8 September 2020|access-date=2020-09-09}}

It was the 119th edition of the French Open and the last Grand Slam event of 2020. The main singles draws included 16 qualifiers for men and 12 for women out of 128 players in each draw.

It was also the only Grand Slam tournament to retain the advantage set in the final set of a match, as the Australian Open and Wimbledon recently switched to tiebreaks.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/45913728|title=Wimbledon: Final set tie-breaks to be introduced in 2019|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=17 May 2019}}{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2018/12/21/australian-open-announces-introduction-final-set-tie-breaks|title=Australian Open announces introduction of final set tie-breaks|newspaper=The Telegraph|date=21 December 2018|access-date=17 May 2019|last1=Sport|first1=Telegraph}}

The men's singles title was won for the 13th time by Rafael Nadal, who won his 20th Grand Slam title, defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final. The women's singles title was won by Iga Świątek, who won her maiden WTA singles title, defeating Sofia Kenin in straight sets in the final. This was the first time in the Open Era that neither the men's nor women's singles champions dropped a set throughout the entire tournament. With his victory, Nadal equalled Roger Federer's all-time record of 20 Grand Slam titles. Świątek became the first player from Poland, male or female, and the first player born in the 21st century, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title.

The 2020 French Open was the 124th edition of the French Open and was held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris. It was also the first year in which there was a retractable roof on the French tennis courts, after construction was completed on Court Philippe-Chatrier in late 2019, with plans in place to also have a roof on Court Suzanne-Lenglen by 2023.{{cite web |title=French Open welcomes new retractable roof on Philippe-Chatrier court |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/05/tennis/french-open-tennis-roof-spt-intl/index.html |publisher=CNN |access-date=16 February 2020 |date=5 February 2020}} Additionally, it was also the first year in which evening tennis was possible, as floodlights were installed for the twelve courts. The sunset in Paris in September and October 2020 was at approximately before 8:00 pm CEST rather than the normal May to June schedule, which would be around after 9:30 pm CEST. Evening matches did not fully conduct until the 2021 tournament. Due to weather delays, Iga Świątek and Martina Trevisan played the first ever women's match to begin in the evening in French Open history during their quarterfinal match.https://www.rfi.fr/en/sports/20201006-swiatek-routs-trevisan-to-reach-first-grand-slam-semi-at-french-open-simony-halep . Retrieved 15 May 2023 A few hours later, Rafael Nadal and Jannik Sinner's quarterfinal became the first ever men's match to start in the evening in French Open history. Their match, which was played under very cold and windy conditions, started after 10:00 pm and finished at 1:26 am. This was the first ever French Open match to finish after midnight.https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/roland-garros/2020/french-open-2020-rafael-nadal-battles-past-plucky-jannik-sinner-in-near-1.30am-finish_sto7934927/story.shtml .

The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was part of the 2020 ATP Tour and the 2020 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consisted of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws.{{cite web|url=http://www.itftennis.com/about/grand-slam%C2%AE/roland-garros.aspx|publisher=International Tennis Federation|title=Roland Garros|access-date=12 April 2018|archive-date=4 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604172607/https://www.itftennis.com/about/grand-slam%C2%AE/roland-garros.aspx|url-status=dead}}

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Normally, this event is held on the fourth Sunday of May and ending in early June and is the second Grand Slam of the year on the peak of the spring clay court season. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on 17 March, French Tennis Federation announced the tournament had been postponed and dates were moved first to 20 September to 4 October 2020 (the dates were initially scheduled for the annual Asian Hard Court swing which would be eventually cancelled on 24 July), and then moved a week further to 27 September to 11 October 2020, just two weeks after the 2020 US Open and the cancellation of the 2020 Wimbledon Championships. For the first time since the 1947 French Championships, this event was not held on the traditional May–June schedule and it was the first time since the introduction of the Open Era that a major tournament was postponed rather than cancelled. On 13 April 2020, the French Government extended a ban on mass gatherings until July 2020 in a bid to control the spread of the virus.{{cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-13/macron-says-he-ll-extend-lockdown-in-france-until-may-11|title=Macron Extends Virus Lockdown, Says France Was Underprepared|publisher=Bloomberg|author=Nussbaum, Ania|author2=Amiel, Geraldine|date=14 April 2020|access-date=21 April 2020}}

The Laver Cup was scheduled from 24 to 27 September, conflicting with the initial new date for the French Open (20 September to 4 October), before being postponed to 2021.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/51930214|title=Coronavirus: French Open tennis moved to September|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 March 2020|access-date=21 April 2020}}

On 7 September, it was announced the three main courts would have a maximum capacity of 11,500 spectators during the 15-day tournament, with 5,000 each in Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen, and 1,500 in Court Simonne Mathieu. Matches on other courts would take place without spectators including the qualifying events. These guidelines followed from official health and safety protocols including social distancing regulations from the regional government. According to the tournament director Guy Forget, players and personnel would have to be tested for the virus upon arrival in Paris to confirm a negative test result and a second test 72 hours later. Players would then have to stay at two hotels stipulated by organizers once they get tested. On 17 September, the spectator capacity for each match was reduced to 5,000 in all of the three main courts owing to an ongoing surge in the number of coronavirus cases in France, and couple of days later, the capacity was reduced once again to 1,000 starting on the eve of the main tournament.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/tennis/2020/09/07/french-open-allow-spectators-coronavirus|title=French Open Allowing Spectators Amid Coronavirus Resurgence|agency=Associated Press|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=7 September 2020|access-date=8 September 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bt.com/sport/news/2020/september/coronavirus-forces-further-restrictions-on-french-open-spectator-numbers|title=Coronavirus forces further restrictions on French Open spectator numbers|publisher=BT Sport|newspaper=PA Media|date=17 September 2020|access-date=18 September 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://au.sports.yahoo.com/roland-garros-braced-crowd-limit-193336528.html|title=Roland Garros braced for crowd limit of 1,000 due to Covid-19|publisher=Agence-France Presse|date=23 September 2020|access-date=24 September 2020|archive-date=27 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200927063214/https://au.sports.yahoo.com/roland-garros-braced-crowd-limit-193336528.html|url-status=dead}}
