Rafael Nadal, who has won a record 14 French Open titles, is likely playing Roland Garros for the last time after being sidelined for most of the last year and a half due to injuries.
Nadal, 37, is unseeded and faces No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev, the Tokyo Olympic champion from Germany, in the first round.
Nadal has played 15 total matches since the start of 2023 and went 5-3 over three clay-court tournaments this spring building up to the French Open.
He has been troubled by injuries since the start of 2023 and missed the French Open last year after undergoing hip surgery.
Andy Murray, a finalist in 2016, will play former champion Stan Wawrinka in the first round of the French Open.

World No 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic has been drawn against wildcard Pierre-Hugues Herbert as he chases a record 25th Grand Slam title following a difficult start to 2024.
