FILE - In this May 23, 2019, file photo, the names &quot;Roland Garros&quot; and the original tournament name &quot;Internationaux de France&quot; can be seen during the draw of the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris. English-speakers tend to go with &quot;French Open,&quot; even though that's not used by the event itself. Most of the rest of the world says &quot;Roland Garros,&quot; 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 &quot;Internationaux de France&quot;, which translates to &quot;International Championships of France.&quot; (AP Photo/Michel Euler, File)
