Andy Murray will play French teenage wildcard Jonathan Eysseric in the first round of the French Open at Roland Garros.

Murray's only previous appearance at Roland Garros in 2006 ended in a first-round defeat and the claycourt event is his least favourite Grand Slam.

And the British number one who is ranked 11th in the world admitted recently he would view it as a success if he survives into the second week this year.

Eysseric, who turns 18 next week, is currently ranked 387th in the world.

Should Murray get beyond left-hander Eysseric, he would play either Slovakia's Dominik Hrbaty or Argentinian Jose Acasuso in the next round. Both are more than useful claycourters.

The first fellow seed he could play is Nicholas Almagro, in the third round.

Further down the line, former Wimbledon finalist David Nalbandian is a potential last-16 opponent, while Murray could come up against three-time defending champion Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals.

Nadal will open his title defence against a qualifier, while Roger Federer will begin his quest for his first French Open title against world number 41 Sam Querrey.

Federer has 12 grand slam titles to his name but is yet to claim the crown at Roland Garros, where he has been beaten in the final by Nadal in the last two years.

The Swiss warmed up for the tournament by reaching the final of the Hamburg Masters last week, losing in three sets to Nadal.

The world number one and top seed has played Querrey once before - recording a straight-sets win in last year's Miami Masters.

Australian Open champion and third seed Novak Djokovic will battle Denis Gremelmayr of Germany, with the Serb slated to meet Nadal in the semi-final.

Fourth seed Nikolay Davydenko will play veteran Swede and former Australian Open winner Thomas Johansson, with fifth seed David Ferrer facing a tough test against Belgium's Steve Darcis, the world number 45.

Top local hope Richard Gasquet will battle it out in an all-French tie with Florent Serra, while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the popular Frenchman who reached the final in Australia this year, will take on a qualifier.

Three-time champion Gustavo Kuerten, who will retire when his run at Roland Garros ends, must take on another Frenchman, Paul-Henri Mathieu.
