There are plenty of questions ahead of the draw. What path will Rafael Nadal and Jelena Ostapenko be dealt in their title defence? Where will unseeded superstars Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka fall? And will the draw gods be kind to former champions Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova, this year seeded 20th and 28th respectively?
Those answers - and more - will be revealed when the French Tennis Federation films the draw ceremony, which will be broadcast live by France Télévisions on the France TV Sport platform, by Eurosport on Eurosport 1 (in France and Europe) and on all Eurosport websites (outside France). It will be broadcast by the Tennis Channel (USA) on its Tennis Channel Plus, TennisChannel.com and Tennis Channel App platforms, and by Tencent (CHN) on the Tencent Sports website.
The ceremony will also be streamed live on the Roland Garros Facebook page, the FFT Facebook page and the Roland Garros YouTube channel, as well as being shown on the RG channel in Roland Garros stadium and on the giant screen outside Court Suzanne-Lenglen.
The draws will be carried out by Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, three-time world figure skating champions (2015, 2016 and 2018) and winners of the silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
The ceremony will start with the draw for the women’s singles. First, the unseeded players will be placed in the draw electronically, before the seeds are randomly drawn by Guillaume Cizeron and placed. Afterwards, the draw for the men’s singles will be made, following the same procedure. Gabriella Papadakis will draw the men's seeds.
