Before that could be Hurkacz in round 3 who he is 0-3 against on clay.

A very tough draw

Jack is a very different player on clay since he last played Hurkacz

Jacob's match against Stan is one of five matches highlighted as 'first round popcorn' on the official Roland-Garros websight.

Just wondering what days the Brits are likely to play first round. What's the system with how they decide who plays when I've the first round? Is it one half is Sunday Monday and the other half is Monday Tues? Do they do a thing like Wimbledon so you can work out which half plays first (where the defending champs start play on the main court on Monday and Tues)?

I don't know about others here but I'm feeling an optimism about chances of us having a British singles champ that I've never had before. I think Jack is still quite a long shot (bookies have him 40-1). I know he has a lot to do to match the achievements of Andy on clay but given his upward trajectory, how there's no Rafa now, Djokovic seems in decline and how the top two now are much less proven on as consistent winners on clay than the big 3 were it just feels a bit different and more like there's a chance things could work out for Jack to win. Never felt that with Andy going in to a french open really. I'm quite excited.....maybe I'm just taking Pat Cash said the other day too seriously? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/videos/cvg9nn970vjo
