Roland Garros 2025 Day 1 Order of Play

Paris Olympic gold medallist Zheng has a tough opener against former finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

In-form Italian Musetti, a finalist at the recent Monte-Carlo Masters, takes on qualifier Yannick Hanfmann in the third match on the biggest show court.

Once the day session on Chatrier has concluded, there will be a special ceremony to honour 14-time Roland-Garros champion Rafael Nadal's career. The Spaniard retired at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga last autumn.

The first night session of the tournament on Chatrier sees Shelton play Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego at 20.15 local time in one of the popcorn matches of the opening round.

Elsewhere Elina Svitlona, Frances Tiafoe, fourth seed Jasmine Paolini, Tommy Paul and Donna Vekic are all on court. Play starts at 11am.
