Andy Murray will open his French Open campaign against Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov.
The world No. 1 has been struggling recently but will hope the best-of-five-sets format allows him to rediscover the form that carried him to the final at Roland Garros 12 months ago.
Should Murray make it past 85th-ranked Kuznetsov in round one, he would face either Slovakia's Martin Klizan or French wildcard Laurent Lokoli. A potential major danger lurks in round three in the shape of 29th seed Juan Martin Del Potro, should he recover from injury problems in time.
Murray was drawn in the same half as third seed Stan Wawrinka, who he beat in the semifinals last year, with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic potential last-four opponents in the bottom section.
In the women's draw, seventh seed Johanna Konta will play world No. 109 Hsieh Su-wei from Chinese Taipei in the opening round.
The British No. 1 is not a natural clay-courter but it would be a sizeable upset if she did not at least win her first ever match at Roland Garros.
Should she beat Hsieh, her second-round opponent would be either American Taylor Townsend or a qualifier, with a potential third-round meeting against France's Caroline Garcia.
Heather Watson failed to qualify for the main draw after a comprehensive final-round loss to Dutchwoman Richel Hogenkamp.
It continues a difficult season for the British No. 2, who has dropped to 118 in the world and will now fall further.
Watson had come through qualifying on three previous occasions at Roland Garros but was never in contention against Hogenkamp and lost 6-0, 6-3 in an hour and 10 minutes.
Elsewhere, the other British players all avoided seeds, with Kyle Edmund facing Gastao Elias of Portugal, Dan Evans taking on Spanish veteran Tommy Robredo and Aljaz Bedene meeting Ryan Harrison of the USA.
Play begins at Roland Garros on Sunday.
