There is one match that will receive extra scrutiny when the French Open order of play is released each evening.
The night-session match is promoted as the highlight of the day, but last year only one of the 10 matches involved female players.
And given the criticism the Madrid Open organisers received this month for not allowing the women's doubles finalists to make presentation speeches, equality in scheduling is extremely topical.
The French Open tournament director is former world number one Amelie Mauresmo, but she says she cannot promise there will be an equal share of men's and women's matches in the night sessions this year.
