Barely three years ago, it was a semi-final.
Now, it is in the first round that Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka will meet at Roland-Garros.
This is how the draw, carried out Thursday at the end of the day, decided.
The 35-year-old Swiss, seeded No. 17 and former winner of Roland, will start as favorite against Murray, whose physical level we do not know exactly and who will return to Roland for the first time since the semi-final that he lost to Wawrinka in five innings in 2017.

On the French side, Richard Gasquet will have a lot to do in the first round against the No. 10 seed in the tournament, the Spaniard Bautista-Agut.
It's hardly better for Gilles Simon, opposed to Shapovalov.
Novak Djokovic will be opposed to Ymer (80th player in the world) and Nadal to Gerasimov (83rd).
Among women, the American Serena Williams, in search of a 24th Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, and the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, back in the foreground, could end up in the round of 16 in Paris, where the draw draw was made on Thursday.
