French Open draw: Djokovic avoids Sinner half but Raducanu faces early Sierra test

Novak Djokovic, a three-time French Open champion seeking a record 25th grand slam singles title, has been drawn in the opposite half of the draw from world number one Jannik Sinner and will open against French big-server Giovanni Mpetshi-Perricard. With Carlos Alcaraz absent, Sinner is considered the heavy favourite in the men's draw. British player Emma Raducanu faces an early challenge against talented youngster Solana Sierra in the first round.
