Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic will not be able to meet until the French Open final after the pair were placed in opposite halves of the men's draw on Thursday, while Coco Gauff could face Aryna Sabalenka in the women's semis.

Jannik Sinner will begin his pursuit of a first French Open title, and a career grand slam, against French wildcard Clement Tabur in the first round of the men’s competition at Roland Garros.

The group of leading tennis players pushing for increased prize money and other reforms at the Grand Slams will stage a media protest at the French Open.
