The ATP entry list has been released ahead of Roland Garros which begins on Sunday 27 September and will be the second Grand Slam after the restart.
Most players like at the US Open have decided to make the trip over on the Men's side with
Novak Djokovic, the number one seed at Roland Garros.
Djokovic though will have a tough time keeping up his unbeatable start to the year (the US Open default aside); due to
Rafael Nadal's return to action in Paris.
Nadal is the defending champion and as he showed in his opener in Rome; he is very much still the top player when it comes to clay.
Dominic Thiem fresh off his maiden Grand Slam triumph at the US Open will also transition to clay; a surface he is very good at. He is a two time finalist at Roland Garros.
Then it is the turn of
Daniil Medvedev,
Stefanos Tsitsipas and
Alexander Zverev - the Greek ace in particular lost out on his return to clay against the Italian prospect Jannik Sinner; and looked really out of sorts.
Gael Monfils and
Fabio Fognini make their Grand Slam returns after sitting out the US Open; while the likes of
Denis Shapovalov and
Milos Raonic will aim to continue their form.
Unlike the WTA Entry List, the qualifiers see only really Andy Murray; as the standout name with the Brit continuing his return.
Roger Federer (injury) and
Nick Kyrgios who didn't want to travel like his compatriot Ashleigh Barty are among the notable absentees.
