Three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten was given a wild-card entry into this year's tournament by the French tennis federation on Thursday.
The 31-year-old Brazilian will be playing his final tournament at
Roland Garros, where he won his only majors in 1997, 2000 and 2001.
The clay-court tournament begins May 25, with the main draw two days before.
Once ranked No. 1 in the world, Kuerten announced earlier this year he
would retire after the French Open because of a chronic hip injury that
required surgery in 2002 and 2004.
