Trending
The first thing which come to people’s minds after hearing the words “Roland Garros” is “who is Roland Garros”? Eugene Adrien Roland Georges Garros was a French aviator who was a pilot during the First World War.
He developed the technology of firing a machine gun through a plane’s propeller arc and shot down four enemy aircrafts during the First World War. Garros was shot down and killed in 1918, just a day before his 30th birthday.
A decade after his death, a tennis centre which Garros used to visit religiously was named in his honour as the Stade Roland Garros and since then, the French Open has been played there.
