MATCH OF THE DAY

Rafael NADAL (ESP) [1] v Simone BOLELLI (ITA)

Simone Bolelli might be a Grand Slam champion since his win in the 2015 doubles at the Australian Open, but the 32-year-old should not be able to resist Rafael Nadal. The tournament favourite comes to France with a weight of expectation and all the ability necessary to succeed. The first game of the tournament for him could lay down a fearsome marker for the rest of the players.

POTENTIAL UPSET OF THE DAY

Rogerio DUTRA SILVA (BRA) v Novak DJOKOVIC (SRB) [20]

Novak Djokovic continues to struggle for fitness after a long time away from the game at his physical peak. With Nadal showing him there is a way back, and as Roger Federer proving you can be world-class well into your thirties, there are examples for him to follow, but Dutra Silva could provide another reminder he is not there yet.

BRIT WATCH

Peter GOJOWCZYK (GER) v Cameron NORRIE (GBR)

Cameron Norrie beat number 10 John Isner in the process of making the last four of the Lyon Open. That success moved him to the World rankings top 100. He is 22, and could climb higher with a good run in Paris, but there's no evidence yet that he can do so consistently. The match against Peter Gojowczyj is his first opportunity to show the extent of his talent.
