The 2015 French Open continues on Tuesday as Day 3 of the competition will see defending men's singles champion Rafael Nadal get his title defence underway.

The cream of the tennis crop have already been out in force this week, but as some begin preparations for the next phase of the competition, another wave of stars sit waiting in the wings to have their shot.

We've picked out a selection of the third day's most alluring fixtures complete with analysis and prediction.

A full breakdown of Tuesday's fixtures can be found on the official Roland Garros website.

 

Quentin Halys vs. Rafael Nadal

The most successful player in French Open history will begin his quest for a 10th Roland Garros crown on Tuesday, with Quentin Halys the man given the unenvious task of stopping the Spaniard at the first hurdle.

As pointed out by the official Roland Garros Twitter account, Halys has a near-insurmountable challenge in front of him, with 289 places separating him from world No. 7 Nadal:



Halys comes into contact with Nadal having lost twice to James Duckworth in Bordeaux and Nice over the past fortnight, during the round of 32 and round of 16, respectively.

Despite the massive gulf between the pair in ranking, Nadal will be taking nothing for granted, however, as tennis writer Chris Goldsmith notes his precarious placement at present:



One can bet the former world No. 1 will go out to make a statement at one of his most treasured career venues, with 18-year-old Halys unfortunate enough to be the inexperienced youth in his sights.

Bar any divine intervention, we should see Nadal make light work of his first obstacle in an effort to save some stamina for the tests to come down the road.

Prediction: Nadal wins in straight sets.
