French Open order of play and schedule on Day 2 including Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz begin their bids to win the French Open on Day 2 at Roland Garros.

Heavyweights in the men’s tournament, a meeting on clay in Paris between the pair is one of the most-anticipated head-to-heads in sport.

In the women’s tournament, Caroline Garcia will hope the home crowd can drive her deep into the second grand slam of the year, with a first-round match against Xiyu Wang.

Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka shone on Day 1, with her power too much for Marta Kostyuk, with the Ukrainian refusing to shake hands and subsequently booed by the French crowd.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the second day of the tournament.
