Novak Djokovic will play his second round match at Roland Garros on Thursday on Philippe-Chatrier court in the third rotation of a day where Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev will play at the end of the program to gain a few hours of rest after a grueling first round.

The world No. 1 will face Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis and will be followed on the Central by Tsitsipas who will face Pablo Cuevas.

Rublev will end the day on the Simonne-Mathieu court against Alejandre Davidovich.

The Greek and the Russian faced each other on Sunday in the final of the Hamburg tournament, won by Rublev, and on Tuesday they each led a very hard battle in five sets to reach the second round of the French Open.

The Suzanne-Lenglen court will feature the matches of Denis Shapovalov, Garbine Muguruza and Matteo Berrettini.

Three Frenchwomen will try to reach the third round: Fiona Ferro against Elena Rybakina, Alizé Cornet against Shuai Zhang and Clara Burel against Kaja Juvan.
