Top seeds Roger Federer and Lindsay Davenport learned the paths they'll have to take in order to capture the French Open, as the singles draws were revealed Friday for Roland Garros 2005. The world No. 1 Federer, fresh off his Masters Series title in Hamburg last week, will open his fortnight against a qualifier or a lucky loser and should be able to ease his way through the draw until the quarterfinals. Federer may have benefited with this week's withdrawal of world No. 2 Lleyton Hewitt, as all the seeded players moved up a spot and Federer now cannot meet red-hot Spaniard Rafael Nadal before the semifinals. Nadal has already captured five clay-court titles this year, including prestigious Masters Series shields in Monte-Carlo and Rome. A fourth-seeded Nadal will meet German Lars Burgsmuller in the first round. The 18-year-old star has won his last 17 matches, all on clay, and is a brilliant 31-2 on the surface overall this season. The 23-year-old Federer could face tough No. 10 Argentine David Nalbandian in the quarters. Nalbandian, who is a surprising 5-2 lifetime against the "Fed," reached the semifinals at Roland Garros last year. Federer has never advanced beyond the quarterfinals at the French, with his best showing coming in 2001. The four-time Grand Slam champ needs Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam and become the sixth man to perform the feat. The reigning U.S. Open and two-time Wimbledon titlist Federer is 9-1 on clay this year. The world No. 1 Davenport, who prefers not to play on red clay, will open her stay against Slovenian Katarina Srebotnik. The three-time major titlist Davenport has never advanced beyond the semis in Paris. Davenport was January's Australian Open runner-up to Serena Williams, who pulled out of Roland Garros '05 on Friday due to a nagging ankle injury. The 28-year-old Davenport hasn't won a Slam since the 2000 Aussie Open. Serena's older sister and fellow former world No. 1 Venus Williams will play Spaniard Marta Marrero in her first-round bout next week. The four-time Grand Slam champion Venus lost to Serena in the 2002 French Open final. Back in the men's draw, second-seeded Andy Roddick will open up against French wild card Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. If Roddick can manage to play some quality tennis on his least-favorite surface, he could meet fellow American Andre Agassi in the quarters in Paris. The sixth-seeded Agassi titled at Roland Garros in 1999 to become the fifth man to record a career Grand Slam, joining Don Budge, Fred Perry, Rod Laver and Roy Emerson. The legendary Agassi will face a qualifier in the first round. Defending men's Roland Garros champion Gaston Gaudio will open defense of his title against French crowd favorite Julien Benneteau. Gaudio, seeded fifth this year, stunned fellow Argentine Guillermo Coria in last year's final. The heavily-favored Coria took the first two sets from Gaudio before being slowed by leg cramps, as Gaudio went on to prevail in five sets, including 8-6 in the fifth. An eighth-seeded Coria will open against Denmark's Kenneth Carlsen next week. Third-seeded Australian Open champion Marat Safin, who's struggled mightily since running the table in Melbourne four months ago, will play Dutchman Raemon Sluiter in his opener in Paris. Over in the women's draw, Davenport is followed by second-seeded Russian Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion. Sharapova will open against fellow Russian Evgenia Linetskaya, with the winner moving on to face a French wild card. Sharapova could meet 2003 French Open champion Justine Henin-Hardenne in the quarterfinals. The former world No. 1 Henin-Hardenne, seeded 10th in Paris, is 20-1 this year, including a current 17-match winning streak. She's 17-0 on the dirt this season, including three titles. Henin-Hardenne will open up against veteran Spaniard Conchita Martinez, the 2000 Roland Garros runner-up. Third-seeded heavy French crowd favorite Amelie Mauresmo will be opposed by Aussie Evie Dominikovic in the opening round. Mauresmo is fresh off her clay- court Italian Masters title in Rome. Reigning women's French Open champion Anastasia Myskina will open defense of her title against Spaniard Maria Sanchez Lorenzo. Myskina topped Elena Dementieva in last year's historic all-Russian finale at Roland Garros. Dementieva, seeded fourth in Paris, will encounter Czech Barbora Strycova in her opener next week. Dementieva was the only woman to reach two Grand Slam finals last year, as she also logged a runner-up finish against fellow Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova at the U.S. Open. Two-time French Open runner-up Kim Clijsters will face a qualifier in the first round. The former world No. 1, seeded 14th in Paris, will head into the event nursing a knee injury. The French Open commences Monday.
