For a number of years it has been customary in Roland Garros for the main round matches to start on Sunday, two weeks before the men's final. And this year Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev are right in the middle of the opening event. As the organizers announced on Friday, parts of the lower half of the tableau will be played for men and parts of the upper half for women on Sunday.

Dominic Thiem has known since Thursday that he will open against the Spanish veteran Pablo Andujar, Alexander Zverev will definitely be dealing with a qualifier. As in round two, by the way. Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev, also drawn in the lower part of the grid, only join the game on Monday.
