Rafael Nadal will face Olympic champion Alexander Zverev in what could prove a blockbusting farewell to the French Open while Australia's top hope Alex de Minaur has been given a challenging draw.
Two of Australia's best hopes, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Alexei Popyrin, have been pitted against each other in the draw made in Paris on Thursday, ensuring that at least one of the nine-strong men's contingent, the biggest at Roland Garros this century, will make the last-64.
But it's a tough path for the two Australians in the women's singles with the experienced pair of Daria Saville and Ajla Tomljanovic both having been handed first-round ties against seeded players.
