Andy v Stan???

Wow

Don't know if that is the battle of the walking wounded, the battle of the old guard, or simply the best R1 match ever......

Poetic considering that Andy's last match at the French was the five-setter that finally did the hip. Great match to watch either way.

Polmans got in as a lucky loser, too.  He's drawn Ugo Humbert.

Well that's pretty much as good as it could be.

A LL for Cam.

And Vesely who obviously will be favourite but who lost in R2 to a player about ATP 200 a couple of weeks ago and hasn't had much of a run up to Roland Garros at all (lost in R1 at US Open too)

Liam's got a decent fighting chance

Hope it's not famous last words, but Liam plays well against other Lefties.  I remember him beating Shapovalov a couple of years back.

Hoping that Cam can find some form too.

An optimistic 3 of 4 to get to 2nd round.

And Benoit Paire has tested negative and so will be playing Roland Garros next week - unfortunate but true (and nothing to do with Covid-19......)

Rafa is highly critical of the balls that RG have chosen - the new Wilson balls are slower, gather less moisture and grit, a bit lighter (says Thiem, but play heavy) and made to endure long rallies - Nadal is NOT happy (nor is Thiem)

Have to be honest and say I am dreading a wipe out - and think that is highly possible.

 Not just against lefties in general, but against this particular one.  Liam has already beaten Jiri in a Grand Slam - Wimbledon Juniors when Jiri was top seed, and has another win against him as well -
