2002 French Open

The 2002 French Open was the second Grand Slam event of 2002 and the 101st edition of the French Open. It took place at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, from late May through early June, 2002.

Both Gustavo Kuerten and Jennifer Capriati were unsuccessful in defending their 2001 titles; Kuerten was defeated in the fourth round by eventual champion Albert Costa, and Capriati was defeated by eventual champion Serena Williams in the semi-finals. Costa won his only major title, defeating compatriot Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final. Serena Williams defeated her sister Venus to win her second major title, her first French Open title, and the first of four consecutive majors in what was called at the time a "Serena Slam".
