The 2013 French Open has practically arrived as we are less than 24 hours away from opening sets all around the tournament. Wondering who is scheduled to take the court as the second grand slam is set to begin? Here is Sunday's schedule with notable acts expected to make their appearances. 

In action, captivating fans right away, will be Serena Williams and Roger Federer, two of the best tennis players in the history of the sport. Williams is the No. 1 ranked female in the game and holds the top spot in this competition in the Women's side. For Federer, he wasn't able to keep his No. 1 ranking, but he is No. 2 in the Men's bracket. 

This is the French Open, so whoever has the "FRA" next to its name will surely get the backing. So let's point out every single one of these folks in action Sunday. It is only fair. 

There's Michael Llodra who will be in charge of closing out the show in center court. Llodra is a veteran playing in his 14th career French Open. He hasn't had a very successful in grand slam tournaments. The furthest he's gone is the fourth round at the French Open.
