British number one Andy Murray will face Japanese professional Tatsuma Ito in the opening round of the French Open.

The Scotsman was drawn to play the 24-year-old at the Roland Garros, which begins on Sunday, while world number one Novak Djokovic is due to take on Italy's Potito Starace in the first round.

There were questions over Murray's fitness for the major tournament due to an ongoing back injury and while ex-Wimbledon champion Boris Becker recently urged the 25-year-old to bow out of the competition, Murray has decided to play on.

Meanwhile, defending champion Rafael Nadal, who clinched the Rome Open title on Monday, will play his first-round clash against Simone Bolelli.
