Former champion Iga Swiatek and World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev will headline the action on Day 5 of the 2022 French Open on Thursday.
While the irrepressible Pole will aim to extend her winning streak to 30 when she meets Alison Riske in the second round, Medvedev will look to get the better of Laslo Djere and advance.
Last year's runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was stretched to five sets by Lorenzo Musetti in his opener, will hope to have an easier outing against Zdenek Kolar.
Having unexpectedly conceded a set to Nastasja Schunk in the first round, 2018 champion Simona Halep will be determined to put in an improved performance against Qinwen Zheng.
Former champion Jelena Ostapenko and last year's quarterfinalist Paula Badosa will also feature on Thursday.
