The first round will continue at the French Open on Tuesday, with many of the biggest names in the men's and women's draws in action. 

Below you can find Tuesday's matchups. Play on each court will begin at 5 a.m. ET, with each corresponding match to follow.



While it's hard to predict which seeded player will fall on Tuesday, one likely will. Just don't count on the biggest names dropping out just yet.

No. 1 Novak Djokovic, for instance, has never failed to advance past the opening round. He's been the runner-up at this tournament in three of the last four years and has gotten to the quarterfinals six straight times. He'll be fine.

No. 2 Andy Murray will go into Tuesday on the ropes, however, shockingly trailing Radek Stepanek 3-6, 3-6, 6-0, 4-2. After playing dreadfully in the first two sets, Murray stole the momentum back before play was halted due to darkness. 

While Murray should complete his comeback, his poor form to start the French Open—especially after he was so good in his preparations for the tournament, reaching two straight finals and beating Djokovic in the Italian Open final—is a major concern for the superstar.



The King of the Clay, No. 4 Rafael Nadal, will commence his tournament on Tuesday as well. Nadal's worst performance was a trip to the fourth round in 2009. Oh, and he's won the tournament nine times. So even if Nadal's dominance over the sport is perhaps a thing of the past, a loss from Rafa in the first round of the French Open would be considered one of the most shocking moments in the history of the sport.

Other players in the draw to keep an eye on include No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 7 Tomas Berdych, No. 11 David Ferrer and No. 15 John Isner.

Of that bunch, Berdych is absolutely a prospect to be eliminated in the first round. Five times in his career (2004, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013) he's fai...
