French Open 2023: Iga Swiatek begins title defence; Daniil Medvedev and Elena Rybakina also in action

Defending champion Iga Swiatek begins her French Open campaign on day three as she chases a third Roland Garros title in four years.

The Polish 21-year-old is one of the favourites to lift the trophy but suffered an injury scare in the build-up to the clay-court Grand Slam.

Top-10 seeds Ons Jabeur of Tunisia, Kazakh Elena Rybakina and American Coco Gauff also feature on Tuesday.

Daniil Medvedev opens against qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild in the men's draw.

The Russian second seed is among four players who could finish the fortnight as men's number one, with Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas also capable of replacing Carlos Alcaraz.
