The draw followed news that Gael Monfils has become the latest to pull out of the second grand slam of the year. The 29-year-old Frenchman has been suffering from a viral infection and has been advised by doctors to withdraw from competition.

The 17-time grand slam winner Roger Federer also withdrew from Roland Garros this week, explaining he did not want to take any unnecessary risks with a back injury he is carrying.
