Preamble
Bonjour mesdames et messieurs! Pour votre plaisir aujourd’hui: defending champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, who faces Emma Raducanu in the second round; the title favourite Aryna Sabalenka; former runners-up Jasmine Paolini, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas; the in-form Lorenzo Musetti and Zheng Qinwen, who both deserve at least a mention in the title conversation; 2017 champ Jelena Ostapenko; honorary Frenchwoman Elina Svitolina; plus Elena Rybakina, Holger Rune and Daniel Altmaier, who took out Taylor Fritz in the first round, but there are still plenty of Americans in Paris today, including Tommy Paul, Frances Tiafoe, Amanda Anisimova and Danielle Collins.
D’accord? Tres bien! L’action commence: 11h à Paris/10am BST.
