■ Tuesday lookahead: Novak Djokovic looks to start a new Grand Slam winning streak, playing his first match at a major tournament since being defaulted at the U.S. Open. He faces 80th-ranked Mikael Ymer of Sweden. Djokovic, the 2016 champion in Paris, never has lost to a player ranked that low at Roland Garros. So far in 2020, Djokovic is 31-1, including a title on clay courts last week at the Italian Open. Also in the main stadium: No. 9 seed Denis Shapovalov of Canada against Gilles Simon of France. Among the other players in action Tuesday: 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin and No. 2 seed Karolina Pliskova in the women’s draw, and No. 5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and No. 7 Matteo Berrettini in the men’s.

■ Tuesday’s forecast: Cloudy, high of 66 degrees.
