Andy Murray faces Stan Wawrinka on the opening day of the French Open at Roland Garro as Naomi Osaka and Carlos Alcaraz highlight the first afternoon of action.

Murray, a former finalist on the Paris clay, is expected to play at the French Open for the final time and the 37-year-old handed a stunning first-round match against Wawrinka, 39, in a rematch of their 2016 and 2017 semi-finals at Roland Garros.

Alcaraz is attempting to win the French Open for the first time after previous grand slam successes at the US Open and Wimbledon. The Spaniard has seen his preparations disrupted by injury and faces JJ Wolf, the lucky loser from qualifying. Jack Draper is in action on and faces Dutch qualifier Jesper De Jong. If Draper wins, he could face Alcaraz in the second round.

Osaka is playing at the French Open for the first time since returning to the tour this year. The former World No 1 will set up a mouthwatering clash with defending champion Iga Swiatek should she beat Lucia Bronzetti in the opening match on Philippe-Chatier.
