The 14-time champion clay king – who expects to retire after the current season – could yet be making his final appearance at the Grand Slam he dominated for so long when he contests a very tough first-round clash with world No4 Alexander Zverev, whom he conquered in the 2022 semi-finals.
Defending women’s singles champion Iga Swiatek is also on court on Monday, while Coco Gauff and Jannik Sinner are among the other high-profile players to feature.
British hopes Cameron Norrie and Harriet Dart are also starting their respective tournaments after Andy Murray was beaten by old rival Stan Wawrinka in his likely French Open singles swansong, though he still has the doubles to come with Dan Evans.
Record 14-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal is likely making his final Roland Garros appearance
