On May 26, the French Open will have its first day of competition. The day before the match, the French Open officially announced the schedule for the first day. The men's singles lower half and women's singles upper half will be the first to start, with Grand Slam champions such as Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka, Murray, and Wawrinka leading the game, and five members of the Chinese army will appear.

Murray vs Wawrinka, the battle of feelings for the Grand Slam treble

After the draw was released, the matchup between Murray and Wawrinka was second only to Nadal VS Zverev in the first round. Both veterans have won three Grand Slam titles, but their former glory is no longer the case, and both are in the twilight of their careers. The showdown in this game is more of a battle of feelings.

The two sides have met 23 times in the past, with Murray holding a slight advantage at 13-10. The two sides have met seven times on clay, with Murray winning just one. Murray last played at the French Open in 2020, when he lost to Wawrinka in the first round. The last time he played at the French Open was in 2017, when he also lost to Wawrinka in the semi-finals.

The Golden Flower Derby is staged, who can win the first French Open victory?

In the first round of the women's singles, there will be a Golden Flower derby, where Wang Xiyu and Bai Zhuoxuan will meet in a narrow way. This is Bai Zhuoxuan's first career participation in the French Open main draw, and Wang Xiyu ushered in her third Roland Garros main draw trip. Wang Xiyu stopped in the first round of the previous two main draws, and this time between her and Bai Zhuoxuan, one of them is destined to usher in the first victory of the French Open.

Wang Xinyu is back in the blessed land and will face a battle of revenge in the first round

The French Open is a blessed place for Wang Xinyu, who made a new breakthrough in her Grand Slam career by reaching the third round of the Women's Singles last year. In the women's doubles competition, she partnered with Xie Shuwei to win the championship. Wang Xinyu, who returned to the blessed land this year, will face qualifier Niemeier in the first round. In the first round of Madrid last year, Wang Xinyu lost two sets in a row to her opponent, and it is worth paying attention to whether Wang Xinyu can achieve revenge this time.

Returning to the French Open after 5 years, Wang Yafan is looking forward to his first victory

Wang Yafan returns to the main draw of the French Open after five years, and she will face world number 106 Timofeeva in the first round. In 2018 and 2019, Wang Yafan suffered a round at the French Open for two consecutive years. Wang Yafan has a poor record on clay this season, winning just one of her two tournaments. Fortunately, the opponent in the first round was not strong, which gave Wang Yafan a chance to attack his first victory in the main draw of the French Open.

With the Rome Masters quarterfinals, Zhang Zhizhen strives to break through the first round for two consecutive years

Zhang's opponent in the first round was world No. 97 Vukic. After suffering a three-game losing streak, Zhang made it to the quarterfinals at the Rome Masters, beating Shelton and Mannarino, two of this year's French Open seeds. Zhang Zhizhen made a splash at the French Open last year, winning his first Grand Slam main draw and reaching the third round, and this time he will be playing at the French Open again, and Zhang Zhizhen is aiming to break through the first round for the second year in a row.

Alcaraz leads the way and several Grand Slam champions are in action

In addition to the Chinese players' matches, there were also a number of key battles staged on the first day of the competition. Naomi Osaka made her first appearance at the French Open after becoming a mother, and her first-round opponent was Blonzetti. Ostapenko and Krejcikova, two former champions, will also make their debuts on this day.

In the men's singles, world No.3 Alcaraz leads the way and his first-round opponent is Wolfe, who was lucky to lose. Former Asian No. 1 brother Kei Nishikori returned to the Grand Slam after nearly 3 years of injury. Rublev, Hurkacz, Dimitrov and other famous players will all make their debuts.
