11 a.m.
Top-ranked Ashleigh Barty returns to Court Philippe Chatrier to play her first match since she won the title at Roland Garros two years ago.
Barty decided not to defend her title in Paris last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The right-handed Australian will start her campaign against Bernarda Pera of the United States.
Play conditions in Paris are excellent, with hot and dry weather expected to last throughout Day 3.
In the men’s draw, 13-time champion Rafael Nadal will start his bid for a record 21st major title against Alexei Popyrin. Top-ranked Novak Djokovic, who lost to Nadal in last year’s final, will be up against Tennys Sandgren in the night session.
