2013 French Open Giveaway!

April 19, 2013 By G.O.A.T

The 2013 French Open is right around that tennis corner! How excited are you people to see some of the worlds greatest tennis players compete on the red clay? Let’s not forget that this will be another year that Rafael Nadal wins Roland Garros…YAY!!!

Like all other majors, I like to give away free tennis stuff and the 2013 French Open is no different. During the 2013 Australian Open, one lucky winner received a brand new Babolat AeroPro Drive GT, Tennis-Warehouse sweatshirt, t-shirt, hat, and water bottle. Now, this French Open giveaway doesn’t include as much stuff but hey, it’s still something.

One lucky winner, man or woman, will win a pair of Nike Courtballistec 4.3’s (Turquoise) or a pair of Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour (Violet)!

2013 french open tennis giveaway

This is how it’s going to go down, like all my other contests, your entry is made by leaving a comment below. I am going to change it up a little bit this year, typically I ask that you leave a comment of your favorite moment of the major tournament of the giveaway; I noticed last year 95% of French Open entries were about Rafael Nadal. Now, don’t get me wrong about this, I am going to not accept any entries about Rafael Nadal. So basically, to enter this contest, you need to leave a comment with your favorite NON-Rafa Nadal moment from the French Open! Read that carefully.

The selection process is the same as always, only one winner will be selected (man or woman) immediately following the 2013 French Open men’s final match. The winner that is selected will be contacted by email and will have 24 hours to respond claiming your winnings…please, use an email address that is valid and that you check regularly! I have selected winners in the past that never responded so I was forced to selected a different winner.

Oh and if an international winner is selected, the winner agrees to pay for shipping charges and any possible international taxes due.

Good luck to those who enter and don’t forget to use those fancy buttons at the top and bottom to share to this 2013 French Open contest on your favorite social media outlets!

    I havent really gotten a favourite moment of the French Open until today, when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga stuns The great Roger Federer in the quarterfinals. Ive just witnessed Tsonga play one of his best tennis especially on a great player like Roger. Im not a big fan of Tsonga but i have a lot of respect for him 🙂

    Li Na is my favorite womens player so I was super psyched when she won her first grand slam singles title making her the first Chinese to win it.

    My favorite match was Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl in 1981. It was Borg’s last Grand Slam title but a very tough mental match.

    My favorite moment was the Hingis vs. Graf. Graf was at the top of her career while you had an 18 year old Hingis. It was a crazy up and down match!

  12. Donna says

    My favorite was

    1974: Bjorn Borg. It was a huge comeback match!

    1989. Michael Chang. Enough said! I’m not gonna give you any statistics or odds because you know exactly what I’m talking about. This cinderella story in which Chang pulled tricks and don’t-do’s, practically everything he had to win his only Major! He managed to stage one of the greatest upsets in tennis history- something unheard of in tennis these days… Writing this, it just reminds me of the many thrilling upsets such as March Madness and helps us remember that no matter how great the opponent, you “don’t give up, don’t ever give up”…(Coach Valvano, NC State and their 1983 cinderella run to the national championship)

  14. Shawn says

    May 6, 2013 at 6:47 pm

    2012 Mirza and bupathi they work great together and I remember one great spinning shot by Mirza that got them the first set and it was just a great doubles match to watch.

  15. Mary says

    May 6, 2013 at 2:24 pm

    My favorite was the

    Lendl/McEnroe — 1984 match. He kind of lost his concentration from the sounds of the cameraman. Lendl ended up winning 3-6, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 7-5.

    My favourite moment was when Maria Sharapova and Sara Errani faced each other at the finals. Maria Sharapova used to be so awkward on clay and people used to say when they first saw her play she looked like a “cow on ice.” But at this time of her career, Sharapova demonstrated that she was dominant throughout the week in Paris and taken her first French Open championship. Sharapova’s 6-3, 6-2 victory over Sara Errani completed the career Grand Slam for Maria, who grew to become the tenth player to win all the grand slams

    One of my favorite French Open moments was in 2011 when Li Na became the first player from China to win a Singles Grand Slam title. This was a very historic win because she was the first Chinese singles player to win a Grand Slam title. At the time I didn’t expect Li Na to win considering she had a pretty hard draw, but she still continued to play in top form throughout the tournament defeating Maria Sharapova in the Semis in straight sets (6-4,7-5) and defeating future world number 1 Victoria Azarenka in the quarter finals also in straight sets (7-5,6-2). Her match against defending champion Francesca Schiavone was pretty intense. Li Na played a very good set winning first set 6-4 but then she became tense second set when she was up 4-2 and shot a backhand long. This would have given her match point but suddenly Schiavone came back and tied the game up and made this set much more thrilling. But of course, Li Na didn’t want another opportunity to slip away when she lost in the Finals in Australian Open. She then holds two tight service games and forced a tie break which she wins 7-0. She becomes the first Chinese tennis player to win a Grand Slam title and she did it with so much class and stayed humble even up to this day.

    My favourite moment was when Yannick Noah in 1983 used his home crowd and his athleticism to his advantage as he defeated defending champion Mats Wilander to end France’s 37-year wait for a home champion. He won in straight sets 6-2 7-6 7-6(3). It was his first and last appearance in a grand slam final. France have not had a men’s singles champion in a very long time.

    This wasnt in a final but my favourite french open moment was when french man Gael Monfils did a diving forehand, which eventually gave him the point. Gael Monfils got the home crowd excited with this great shot against Jurgen Melzer in the third round in 2009 such great effort by Monfils!

    The french open is one of my favourite slams in tennis it never disappoints me. My favourite moments was when Agassi completed to win all 4 grand slams and in 1982 Mats Wilander and Guillermo Vilas. Mats Wilander was only 17, and he was the 18th-ranked player in the world. Thus, it was surprising when he won the French Open against Guillermo Vilas who was seeded as the No. 3 men’s player. In the end, the record was 1-6, 7-6, 6-0 and 6-4. Yet, one reason this is an amazing match is that it holds the record for the longest rally. Also impressive is how the victory made Wilander the youngest, at the time, to ever win the French open. Later, Michael Chang became the youngest.

    My favorite moment was when roger federer completed his career grand slam. We all knew that fed would win over soderling, but even so, I was ecstatic to see the greatest player of all time reach the career slam.

    My favourite moment of the french open and this one is from the WTA is when the sixteen-year-old Monica Seles won her first grand Slam at the 1990 French Open, where she beat World No.1 Steffi Graf in the final. She saved four set-points in a first set tie-breaker to eventually win it 8-6. She then took the second set 6-4 on her way to becoming the youngest ever women’s champion at Roland Garros. What a win for her.

    My favourite moment of the french open was when Gaston Gaudio vs Guillermo Coria in 2004. The 2004 final was a surprising match between two men from Argentina. Gaudio came from out of nowhere. He was unseeded and had little success at Grand Slams in the past. But he went on a strong run in Paris to reach the final. Coria dominated early, dropping only three games in the first two sets. But things changed suddenly. Gaudio would find his stride, winning the next three sets to pick up a 0-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 8-6 win. The fifth set alone was thrilling, but i think this match is more famous for the comeback.

    One of the best memories were Michael Chang vs. Ivan Lendl in 1989

    Lendl was the top seed in France and had three French Open titles. Michael Chang was a ONLY 17 years old. That changed in the fourth round at Roland Garros. Chang dropped the first two sets to the top seed and looked done. However, he started getting the breaks he needed. He managed to win the next three sets to stun Lendl. He would eventually win the French Open, becoming the youngest man to do so! what a great comeback!

    Thanks for doing another giveaway!

    My favourite french open moment was and i remember it like it was just yesterday was Bjorn Borg vs. Ivan Lendl – 1981

    Borg was seeking his fourth straight title in 1981 and his sixth overall. Lendl, at just 21, had yet to win a Grand Slam. They fought an epic final at Roland Garros, trading sets back and forth. But Borg capitalized on a number of Lendl mistakes to take the fifth set 6-1. This match would mark a transition. It was the last Grand Slam title for Borg, while Lendl would eventually come to dominate men’s tennis.

    The Swede dominated the French Open—and men’s tennis—for much of the late-’70s and early-’80s.

    After struggling throughout the first two sets and on the brink of defeat, Borg launched an amazing comeback to capture his first title, beating Spain’s Manuel Orantes 2–6, 6–7, 6–0, 6–1, 6–1.Borg controlled the final three sets and would control the tournament for many years— defending his title in ’75, and possessing control in winning four straight titles from ’78 to ’81.

    Borg holds the French Open record with six championships.

    I remember when Andre Agassi was wearing a wig during a match in the french open in the final of 1990 and he said every time he leaps he thinks about if it will fall off his head and into the clay it was so funny. And after the match people were saying how his hair fell off

    Ivan Lendl wins his first grand slam title after John McEnroe’s meltdown. Lendl lost the first two sets of the 1984 final. But he was helped by his opponent’s loss of emotional control, with McEnroe raging because of the noise leaking from a cameraman’s headset. Lendl, who had lost his first four appearances in grand slam finals, went on to win a total of eight majors. It was really funny to watch McEnroe rage 🙂

    April 25, 2013 at 3:43 am

    One of my favourite moments was watching the long tie breaker between John Isner and Paul-Henri Mathieu. Seeing two players fighting to win and not wanting to loose for almost two and a half for the fifth set only! (The whole match lasted a little more than 5 and a half hours…) At the end, John Isner lost.. So much concentration for such a long time.. admirable.

    Here is my favorite French Open Match non Nadal. Andre getting his Career Slam and French.

    Agassi v Medvedev 1999

    Andre Agassi was trying to become only the fifth man to win all four Grand Slam titles and only the third man to win Grand Slam titles on three different surfaces when he faced Andrei Medvedev in the 1999 French Open final. He was also trying to win his first Grand Slam title for over four years. Medvedev was playing in his first Grand Slam final and began well. Agassi struggled to find his timing as the wind swirled around the court. Then the wind died down and Agassi managed to win the third set. It proved to be the turning point. Agassi won in five sets and there were emotional scenes as he realised what he had accomplished. Agassi went from strength to strength after that, winning the U. S. Open later in the year and then winning three Australian championships. Medvedev disappeared from view and never reached the heights again

    The time when Andy Roddick’s serve buried itself in the clay surface!
    Okay, I know it was just a special effect for a commercial, but, . . . it WAS pretty cool, and made a lot of people believe that it was real.

  35. Brandon tackett says

    April 19, 2013 at 8:30 pm

    Without a doubt, Michael Changs remarkable run in the 1989 French Open!
    Before becoming the youngest male to ever win a major in the EPIC 5 set final against Stefan Edberg. His 4th round matchup against Ivan Lendl goes down as my favorite moment in French Open history.
    After being down 2 sets to 1, the unusual (almost revolutionary) tactics Chang used to come back were just brilliant. From ‘moon balling’ just to slow the match down (cramping), to nearly standing on the base line on a second serve match point (Which Lendl eventually double faulted)!
    Oh, and how could I almost forget the risky under-handed serve Chang pulled on a critical point! Classic stuff.

    And here’s my email, because I don’t know if signing in with Twitter allows you to see it…… Email: sctennis.tackett@gmail.com
