The French Open, Roland Garros, enters its second day on Tuesday with significant Greek interest as top players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari commence their singles campaigns.

His opponent in the first round will be France's Alexandre Miller. Tsitsipas holds a perfect record against Miller, having won all three of their previous encounters.

Prior to Tsitsipas's match, the day on the main court will open with a women's singles encounter between Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

Maria Sakkari faces a tougher challenge in her opening match. She is slated to play the second match on Court 6, with her contest against Czech Republic's Linda Noskova anticipated to start after 1:30 p.m. Sakkari will need to be at her best against the in-form Noskova, whom she has faced twice before, with each player securing one victory.
