ROLAND GARROS – The first round of Roland Garros has a Sunday start, and is spread over the first three days of the tournament.

And so there are some marquee matchups from the start – including Stan Wawrinka vs. Andy Murray to close off the Court Philippe-Chatrier schedule. And Sinner vs. Goffin. And Konta vs. Gauff.
