Roland-Garros kicked off on Sunday, a summer late.
On the program for the second day, Monday: the entry into the track of Serena Williams, Dominic Thiem and Rafael Nadal.
The Spaniard is looking for a twentieth Grand Slam coronation, which would make him equal the record set by Roger Federer.
Rafael Nadal, in search of an unthinkable thirteenth coronation at Roland Garros, launches his autumn campaign on Monday on the Central court, where he will succeed Dominic Thiem and Serena Williams on the second day of the Parisian Grand Slam.
Nadal, who would equal the record for Grand Slam crowns (20) set by Roger Federer if he triumphed once again on Parisian clay, started against Belarusian Egor Gerasimov (83rd) at the end of the day.
Serena Williams, who has the will to equal the absolute record of Grand Slam trophies (24, held by Margaret Court), begins her tournament against her compatriot Kristie Ahn (102nd).
Big entry piece for Thiem: the fresh winner of the US Open is opposed to Marin Cilic, ex-world No. 3 today 39th, in the first round.
