Jannik Sinner will face French wild card Clement Tabur in the first round of the French Open, which starts on Sunday May 24, seeking to clinch a career Grand Slam.
Sinner was runner-up in last year's final, losing an epic contest to Spain's Carlos Alcaraz - the longest French Open final on record.
The Italian won Australian and US Open titles in 2024 and Wimbledon in 2025, adding a second Australian title in 2025 too, leaving Roland Garros as his final Grand Slam to conquer.
Defending champion Alcaraz - 2024 and 2025 champion - has confirmed he will miss this year's tournament at Roland Garros due to a wrist injury, and will also miss Wimbledon in July.

Meanwhile, Winchester's Toby Samuel came through qualifying to reach his first Grand Slam main draw
The 23-year-old had the biggest ranking leap of any male player last year and has jumped 1,708 places to 159 since the start of 2025.
Raducanu steers clear of favourites
On the women's side of the draw, Britain's Emma Raducanu faces Argentina's Sierra Solana, while compatriots Katie Boulter and Fran Jones face American wild card Akasha Urhobo and Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia respectively.
The British No 1 was unseeded after slipping to 37 in the rankings and arrives at Roland Garros with a single clay-court match under her belt after losing in the first round at Strasbourg to Diane Parry.
Raducanu will be hoping for a return to form on the big stage and her prospects are boosted by a first-time meeting with the 21-year-old Argentinian, who fell at the first hurdle last year in her maiden appearance in the main draw.
A potential meeting with 13th seed Jasmine Paolini awaits in the second round, should the Italian see off Dayana Yastremska.
Emma Raducanu's projected route to French Open glory
R2 - Paolini/Yastremska
R4 - Rybakina/Baptiste/Krejcikova
QF - Andreeva/Muchova/Samsonova
SF - Swiatek/Svitolina/Bencic/Kostyuk
F - Sabalenka/Gauff/Pegula/Anisimova
Defending champion Coco Gauff starts by facing fellow American Taylor Townsend.
World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka, runner-up at Roland Garros in 2025 after defeat to Gauff, is still in search of her first French Open triumph, and faces Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the first round.
Four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek plays Australian wildcard Emerson Jones and second seed Elena Rybakina faces Veronika Erjavec

What is the prize money?
Top players have expressed "their deep disappointment" at the French Open prize money.
Open organisers announced an overall prize money increase by about 10 per cent for an overall pot of 61.7 million euros (£53.7 million).
The total amount is up 5.3 million euros from last year. But the players said their share of Roland Garros revenue has declined from 15.5 per cent in 2024 to 14.9 per cent projected in 2026.
The Australian Open this year increased the players' pay by 16 per cent, and the US Open last year went up by 20 per cent.
