Rafael Nadal will begin, what is expected to be his final French Open, with a tough first-round match against fourth seed Alexander Zverev.
The 22-time Grand Slam winner, who has claimed 14 of his title at Roland Garros, plans to call time on his glittering career at the end of the season.
His German opponent comes into the tournament as one of the favourites after beating Nicolas Jarry in straight sets in the final of the Italian Open last week.
Elsewhere, Andy Murray - who may also be bidding farewell to the men's tour at the end year - has been drawn against fellow three-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka.
The 37-year-old Brit has only made one appearance at the tournament in the last seven years, having struggled with injury. Wawrinka, two years Murray's senior, claimed a stunning French Open win in 2015.
