Clay Court Specialist Rafael Nadal returns to action at his favourite tournament on Monday – but he faces his trickiest French Open opener for many years.
Nadal who has won the title a record 14-times faces fourth seed Alexander Zverev
It had seemed like this would be his final French Open appearance but he said earlier this week he would not “close the door” on extending his career.
Consequently, a planned farewell ceremony has been scrapped by tournament organisers.
Women’s top seed and three-time champion Iga Swiatek is also in action as she looks to continue her recent Roland Garros dominance.
Meanwhile, British number one Cameron Norrie begins his tournament against Pavel Kotov, while Harriet Dart takes on Linda Noskova.
