Defending champion Iga Swiatek returns to French Open action on Wednesday but faces a potentially tricky tie against former number one Naomi Osaka in the second round.
The pair, who have both won four Grand Slams, are scheduled to play the third match on Court Phillipe Chatrier.
Current world number one Swiatek is aiming to become the first woman since Justine Henin in 2007 to win three French Open titles in a row.
Osaka, who is now 134th in the world rankings as she continues her return from maternity leave, has never gone beyond the third round in Paris.
