Friday saw the reveal of the 2016 French Open draw, laying out the paths to Grand Slam victory for defending singles champions Serena Williams and Stan Wawrinka.

Williams will begin her title defense against veteran Magdalena Rybarikova. Wawrinka will take on Lukas Rosol, whom he defeated in three sets Friday in the semifinals of the 2016 Geneva Open.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic was runner-up in last year's tournament, but he will be looking to build off his win at the Australian Open earlier this year with another Grand Slam title. Rafael Nadal could foil those plans if health and form permit.

The clay-court master is on Djokovic's side of the bracket, which means a semifinal date could be in the offering.

The door is open for a fresher face to reach the latter stages of the tournament, as Roger Federer will miss his first Grand Slam event in 17 years due to an unspecified injury, per the New York Times' Christopher Clarey.

Roland Garros sent out the official men's and women's draw soon after they were announced:

Djokovic is the favorite to win the title, even though it's the only Grand Slam that has eluded him thus far in his career. He's reached the final three times in the past four years, only to come up empty in each outing. Clarey laid out what could be Djokovic's path to his first tournament win on the famous red-clay courts: 



Roland Garros did some similar crystal-ball gazing, detailing could be some tantalizing quarterfinals matchups if the top seeds play out just right:



If Wawrinka is to be foiled in his quest for a French Open repeat, it will likely have to come before the final. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Tennis
