The draw ceremony for Roland Garros was held on earlier on Friday, May 25. The season’s second grand slam will take place on the red clay in Paris, beginning May 27. In similar manner to 2011’s tournament, Roger Federer was given a difficult draw and placed in the top half with Novak Djokovic. Six time and defending champion Rafael Nadal received an easy path to the final and his highest seeded opponent is Andy Murray.
