Roland Garros: Serena to face Pliskova, Nadal vs Dolgopolov

Three-time champion Serena Williams will play Czech Kristyna Pliskova in the first round of the French Open.

The 36-year-old American is playing her first Grand Slam since giving birth in September and is unseeded, reports BBC.

British number one Johanna Konta faces Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva, while Kyle Edmund - the leading British man as Andy Murray recovers from injury - meets young Australian Alex de Minaur.

Ten-time winner Rafael Nadal opens against Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov.

Two other British players are also in the singles draw at Roland Garros - Heather Watson will face France's Oceane Dodin in the women's and Cameron Norrie meets Germany's Peter Gojowczyk in the men's.

The clay-court tournament - the second Grand Slam of the year - starts in Paris on Sunday.
