When do Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz play their first matches at Roland Garros?

Top seed Jannik Sinner and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will both play their opening Roland Garros matches on Monday, Day 2 of this year’s tournament.

World No. 1 Sinner will play Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech, who is No. 72 in the PIF ATP Rankings. The 29-year-old did beat Sinner in their lone clay-court meeting in Lyon in 2021, but the Italian leads their Lexus ATP Head2Head series 2-1.

Alcaraz will play Italian lucky loser Giulio Zeppieri, who replaced the injured Kei Nishikori on line 127 of the draw.

Day 1 play on Sunday will feature Lorenzo Musetti, Tomas Machac, Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
