STAT OF THE DAY

15-0 - 2013 runner-up David Ferrer's first-round record at the French Open after his five-set victory over Donald Young.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

''Is a love that you have to love, and then you hate sometimes. It's like when you marry someone.'' - 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone (who lost to Muguruza), describing her relationship with tennis.

LOOKAHEAD TO TUESDAY

After last year's breakthrough to the No. 1 ranking, Andy Murray has been struggling in 2017, but he'll try to right himself starting in the French Open's first round against Andrey Kuznetsov. Joining Murray, the runner-up a year ago in Paris, in finally getting going on Day 3 will be 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka, who meets Jozek Kovalik. Wawrinka started his clay season poorly before emerging with a title at the Geneva Open last week. The don't-look-away-or-you'll-miss-something-spectacular match of the day should be 15th-seeded Gael Monfils of France against Dustin Brown of Germany. Both hit highlight-worthy, GIF-ready shots on a regular basis. A couple of women who have been playing very well on clay play their first-round matches, too: No. 3 Simona Halep against Jana Cepelova, and No. 5 Elina Svitolina against Yaroslava Shvedova, who is best known for winning a ''golden set'' - all 24 points - at Wimbledon in 2012. Seeded Americans John Isner and Madison Keys play their first-rounders, too.
