Lleyton Hewitt and Jelena Jankovic are both former world number ones. They are both scheduled for action Sunday at the 2011 French Open on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The 2011 Roland Garros main draw begins today and Court Suzanne Lenglen, one of the show-courts at Roland Garros, features four matches. The court start time is 11am CET with Renata Voracova taking on French hopeful Alize Cornet in the first match of the day.
Cornet is still just 21 years old but she is entering her seventh main draw at Roland Garros, having compiled a modest 5-6 record in past years.
Following that match Lleyton Hewitt takes to Court Suzanne Lenglen as the Aussie makes his return to competitive tennis after missing a couple months. Hewitt will be in tough right from the start as he faces Albert Montanes of Spain, a multiple clay court title winner.
Up next will be the 10th seed in the women's draw as Jelena Jankovic faces Alona Bondarenko. Jankovic has been struggling lately however Bondarenko is currently ranked just 75th on tour and she has gone out in the first round of Roland Garros four times in the last six years.
The final match of the day scheduled for Court Suzanne Lenglen will involve French player Julien Benneteau. Benneteau is not known for doing well on clay and his ranking is now way out at 83rd. However he still appears to be stronger than his opponent, Rui Machado, a player who is 2-4 in his career in Grand Slam matches.
