ROLAND GARROS - TOUT CA COMMENCE

The French Open begins Sunday and ends June 8.

Top seed and world No. 1 Roger Federer, chasing the only Grand Slam title to have eluded him, faces a first-round test against American Sam Querrey, who had a surprising run to the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters last month.

A possible fourth-round encounter with Argentina's Juan Monaco, the world's 14th-ranked player, could be in the cards.

One of the highlights for Federer could be a quarterfinal-round match against compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka, seeded ninth.

Wawrinka grabbed the limelight this season by reaching the Barcelona Open semifinals and the Rome Masters final, where he lost in three sets to Djokovic.

Then a semifinal battle with Spain's David Ferrer looms for Federer.

Brazil's Gustavo Kuerten, who won the tournament in 1997, 2000 and 2001 and will retire once his last French Open appearance is over, faces Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu in the first round.

Three-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal faces a tough task in his bid to win a fourth consecutive title following Friday's draw for the tournament.

The second seed, who has never been beaten at Roland Garros since his debut in 2005, is in the same half of the draw as Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Argentina's David Nalbandian.

Following a first-round match against a qualifier, the Spaniard could meet Jarkko Nieminen and Mikhail Youzhny before a possible quarterfinal against Nalbandian and a rematch of last year's semifinal against Djokovic.
