Who are the favourites?
Rafael Nadal is the overwhelming favourite to land an 11th Roland Garros title in the men's singles. Nadal has not been beaten on clay since defeat to Dominic Thiem in Rome last May.
Roger Federer misses his third straight French Open. The 20-times grand slam champion has opted to sit out the clay-court season to safeguard his body and concentrate on the grass events later in the summer.
The women's draw is again another wide-open affair. Simona Halep, who lost last year's final to the unseeded Jelena Ostapenko is favourite with the bookies, while Elina Svitolina and Garbine Muguruza are among the leading contenders.
