Murray was beaten in the first round on his only previous appearance at Roland Garros in 2006 and admitted recently he would view it as a success if he survives into the second week.

The British No1, ranked 11th in the world, missed the clay-court Grand Slam event last year due to a wrist injury.

Should he get beyond left-hander Eysseric, Murray will play either Slovakia's Dominik Hrbaty or Jose Acasuso, of Argentina.

World No1 Roger Federer will begin his quest for a first French success against American Sam Querrey. Rafael Nadal, who is going for his fourth successive title, will face a qualifier.

Sebastien Grosjean, a former semi-finalist, has pulled out with a shoulder injury.
