French Open Day 2 order of play and schedule including Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz

PA Archive

Day 3 at the French Open sees some heavy hitters and much-fancied stars take to the clay for the first time, including No6 seed Coco Gauff and women’s No1 Iga Swiatek.

In the men’s singles, Casper Ruud and Holger Rune get their own first round ties underway, just outside the very biggest of favourites but certainly players capable of springing an upset along the way.

Meanwhile, the first round doubles matches will also begin including British hopefuls Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski, the latter being ranked joint world No1.

Yesterday at Roland Garros saw Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie start their bids with first-round victories, while in the women’s singles it was home favourite and No5 seed Caroline Garcia who made a winning start. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the third day of the tournament.
