 Murray opens his campaign against fellow teenager Monfils |
British hope Andy Murray will play Gael Monfils in a first-round battle of the teenagers at the French Open. Murray, 19, faces the French 25th seed for the second time in a month, having won on clay at the Hamburg Masters.
British number one Greg Rusedski takes on Chile's Paul Capdeville; Tim Henman faces Denmark's Kenneth Carlsen.
Top seed Roger Federer plays a lucky loser after Frenchman Arnaud Clement pulled out injured and champion Rafael Nadal meets Swede Robin Soderling.
Federer - who dramatically lost to 2005 champion Nadal in Rome earlier this month - holds the US Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon titles, but has never won the French Open.
The Swiss 24-year-old hopes to complete his Grand Slam set in Paris and would become the first man to hold all four titles at the same time since Australia's Rod Laver in 1969 if he wins.
Rusedski, who replaced Murray as Britain's leading player in May, could meet Federer in the quarter-finals if he gets through the early stages including a possible second-round match-up with Croatian Mario Ancic.
