Why are there more blonde people in Wimbledon than in Roland Garros?
Although both tournaments are attended by mostly white people, there seems to be more blonde audience in Wimbledon than in Roland Garros. Why is this, given both host countries are almost the same?

If the British are Anglo-Saxons, then the French are Franks and Burgundians, also of Germanic origin. If the British are mixed with Normans, so the French. One realizes both countries are pretty much the same.

Actually a lot of both the French and British populus are descended from nomadic Germanic/Celtic tribes. But in Britain there's a much greater Scandinavian (Vikings/Normans) influence in the gene pool because in the distant past Britain had heavy Viking/Norman activity as for centuries there had been Norsemen raiding and settling the isle. This is also true with the French but to a much lesser extent.

British are Anglo-Saxons, of Germanic origin, fairer than the French. That's why you see more blonds or light brown haired spectators.
