The best of the best on the men’s side will be competing Tuesday, as Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal will each play their first-round matches on day three. Other top players playing on Tuesday include Andrey Rublev and Diego Schwartzman on the men’s side, and world number one Ash Barty and the five seed Elina Svitolina on the women’s side.

Here are my predictions for all 40 matches set to take place on day three at Roland Garros.
