Emma will make her French Open debut.

The US Open champion has struggled with injury in the build-up to the clay-court Grand Slam.

Norrie is the number one and 10th seed.

Men's number one Novak Djokovic is set for a difficult title defence after landing in the same half of the draw as Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz.

Iga Swiatek of Poland, the top seed and favourite for a second French Open triumph, opens her campaign against a qualifer.

Dan Evans is one of five Britons in the main draw, and he will face Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo in the first round.

The French Open main-draw has two debutants in the form of Heather Watson and Harriet Dart.

The French Open starts on Sunday.

Nadal, Djokovic & Alcaraz drawn in same half

Novak Djokovic

In his first Grand Slam competition of the year, he has a difficult path ahead of him.

The Serb could potentially face Nadal in the quarter-finals if he wins his title defence against Nishioka.

Australian Open champion Nadal, who is bidding for a record-extending 14th French Open crown, starts against Jordan Thompson.

The Madrid Open winner, Alcaraz, is considered one of the favorites for the title and could potentially be in the semi-finals.

The 19-year-old Spaniard will play a qualifer.

In the bottom half, world number two, Daniil Medvedev, starts against Argentina's Facundo Bagnis.

Swiatek starts with qualifier

The world number one will find her first-round opponent once the qualification event is over on Friday.

She could potentially face a fellow former champion in either Simona Halep or Jelena Ostapenko in the fourth round.

The defending champion will start against the second seed.

The Czech won the women's singles and doubles last year but has been hampered by an elbow injury.

Naomi Osaka will open against the young American who ended her Australian Open title defence in January.

In the same quarter of the draw is last year's semi-finalist Maria Sakkari, as well as former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu.

Analysis

Russell is a tennis correspondent.

If he gets the chance to play Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals this year, he will be happy because of the uncertainty over his long-term foot problem.

Last year's runner-up has avoided the half featuring Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, so he has the biggest reason to smile.

Simona Halep or Jelena Ostapenko could be Iga Swiatek's fourth-round opponent at the French Open.

The US Open champion will be making her debut in the main draw of the French Open, and she will be wary of anyone who has won three matches in a row to get there.
