The honors of the very first night session in the history of Roland Garros have been reserved for Serena Williams: the American will enter the running from 9:00 p.m. on Central Court on Monday.
She will face Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu (74th) in the first round.
Previously, Roger Federer will precede her on the Philippe-Chatrier court, opposed to the Uzbek Denis Istomin, from qualifying.
This will only be the fourth game of the season for the Swiss, launched at almost forty years of age in an attempt to return to the highest level after a double right knee operation in 2020.
From 11 am, the young Polish Iga Swiatek (9th) will launch, on her twentieth birthday, the defense of her title obtained last fall, against the Slovenian Kaja Juvan (101st).
