About the Roland Garros Timeline Game

This free timeline puzzle game tests your knowledge of Roland Garros history — from Björn Borg's first clay court title in 1974 to Coco Gauff's first title in 2025. Each puzzle presents 6 historic French Open moments in a shuffled order. Your task: arrange them from oldest to most recent. Score one point for each event in the exact correct position, with a maximum of 6 per puzzle and 18 across all three.

The three puzzles scale in difficulty. The Men's Legends puzzle spans 1974 to 2022 — events decades apart, accessible to anyone who knows their tennis history. The Women's Legends puzzle tightens slightly, with 2019 and 2020 sitting just one year apart. The Modern Era puzzle is the real test — six events between 2015 and 2025, including back-to-back years that will trip up even hardcore fans.
