  1. Raducanu 0-0 Wang*

    Away we go!

    Wang Xinyu is left in shock after she's penalised for a foot fault, which leaves her 0-30 down in her opening service game.

    An early opening for Emma Raducanu, perhaps.

  2. Raducanu v Wang

    World number 41 Emma Raducanu up against China's 43rd-ranked Wang Xinyu.

    It's not a straightforward opening match for either player.

    And victory will likely set up a meeting with four-time champion Iga Swiatek...

  3. What shape is Raducanu in?

    Emma Raducanu needed treatment for a back spasm during her last outing in Strasbourg on Tuesday, using dry needling and heat therapy on the affected area since.

    At the weekend Raducanu talked about overcoming her "biggest phobia" - a fear of needles - to help ensure she is ready for her French Open return.

    The 22-year-old, who suffered from a similar issue before the Australian Open, says she is "not 100%" - but tennis players rarely are.

    "I would say the one before Australia was worse. I feel like this one I kind of caught before it fully locked up," said Raducanu.

    "It feels OK, it feels good, not 100% yet, but we're working towards that."

  4. Raducanu ready despite back issue

    British number two Emma Raducanu kicks off her French Open campaign against world number 42 Wang Xinyu on Court 8.

    Raducanu said she was beginning to "build a relationship" with clay while completing her French Open preparations in Strasbourg, but has been suffering with a back spasm in the build-up to Roland Garros.

    Despite that issue, the former US Open champion, who recently returned to the world's top 50, says she has been "managing" the issue during practices and has overcome her "biggest phobia" - a fear of needles - to treat the pain.

    More importantly, she now feels ready to open her account at Roland Garros.

    Fans queue outside Emma Raducanu's courtBBC Sport

    Emma Raducanu remains a big draw.

    There was already a decent queue outside court eight - a small stadium in the shadow of Court Suzanne Lenglen - half an hour before she is due to walk out.

    The British Barmy Army are out in force. National flags are being sat on, ready to be unfurled. Union Jack hats are covering bounces ready to ward off the UV.

    Some will be planning to stay for the long haul with Jodie Burrage playing her first-round match straight afterwards.

  6. What's coming up on day two?

    There's no shortage of top seeds in action on day two, with men's title favourites Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz beginning their bids, and Iga Swiatek looking to respond to Aryna Sabalenka's impressive opener.

    First up today, we're going to be following Emma Raducanu's opening match against China's Wang Xinyu, as the former US Open champion makes her first French Open appearance since 2022.

    Jodie Burrage faces American former world number seven Danielle Collins straight after, while British women's number one Katie Boulter takes on French qualifier Carole Monnet.

    In the men's draw, Jacob Fearnley meets former champion Stan Wawrinka.

    World number one Aryna Sabalenka announced her arrival at the French Open in emphatic style as she cruised through to the second round.

    The Belarusian dropped only one game as she beat Kamilla Rakhimova in just one hour 6-1 6-0 in Paris.

    Fourth seed Jasmine Paolini survived a big scare to seal her place in the second round.

    The Italian recovered from a break down in the final set to inch past world number 87 Yuan Yue 6-1 4-6 6-3.

    Ukrainian 13th seed Elina Svitolina cruised through her first match in just 72 minutes, winning 6-1 6-1 against Zeynep Sonmez of Turkey.

    But two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, competing in her first major since returning from maternity leave, was beaten 3-6 6-0 6-4 by Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland.

  8. Here come the Brits

    After a fairly quiet opening day in terms of top names and British interest at the French Open, you better get ready for an action-packed day two.

    Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Jodie Burrage and Jacob Fearnley begin their tournaments today.

    Meanwhile around the courts the likes of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are all going to be in action.
