Kyle Edmund will play Australian teenager Alex de Minaur in the first round of the French Open, which starts on Sunday.
The British number one is seeded 16th and, in the absence of the injured Andy Murray, carries his country's best hopes of an extended run at Roland Garros after recently breaking into the world's top 20 for the first time. Edmund's projected draw then sees him face Fabio Fognini in the third round, Marin Cilic in the fourth round, Juan Martin Del Potro in the quarter-final and the great Rafael Nadal in the semis.
Britain's other representative in the men's singles, Cameron Norrie, has been rewarded for making a grand slam main draw for the first time by being paired with Germany's Peter Gojowczyk.
Defending champion Nadal is chasing an 11th title and will begin his campaign against Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov.
His great rival Novak Djokovic will hope to put injury and poor form behind him when he takes on a yet-to-be-decided qualifier.
British women's number one Johanna Konta will also hope for better fortunes after a disappointing start to the year when she faces first-round opponent Yulia Putintseva from Kazakhstan.
Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko will open her defence of the women's title against Ukrainian Kateryna Kozlova and Britain's other representative in the women's singles' draw, world number 86 Heather Watson, faces France's Oceane Dodin.
Former world number one Serena Williams, unseeded and making her first grand slam appearance since the 2017 Australian Open after giving birth to her daughter, faces a tough test against world number six Karolina Pliskova.
Simona Halep, the current world number one and top seed, has an opening-round match against American Alison Riske.

Brits abroad
Afternoon all, welcome to our coverage of the French Open draw, which will get underway at 6pm BST.
Andy Murray is out of course, but there are four Brits in the singles draw - including the 16th seed in the men's competition Kyle Edmund, and the 22nd seed in the women's event Johanna Konta.
Both draws have 32 seeds and 128 entrants, which makes for seven rounds.
Below, our pals at the Press Association have helpfully profiled the British quartet.
Kyle Edmund
Edmund goes into the tournament as Britain's main hope for success after a superb start to 2018.
The 23-year-old Yorkshireman will be seeded at a slam for the first time after breaking into the top 20 and can hope to build on his stunning run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open.
Edmund has developed a lot under his coaching team of Fredrik Rosengren and Mark Hilton and is unusual among British players in being totally at home on clay, which rewards his huge forehand. He reached the third round last year and will hope to go further.
Cameron Norrie
Norrie has qualified directly for a slam on ranking for the first time thanks to his swift progress. The 22-year-old only turned professional a year ago after a stellar college career in the United States but will break into the top 100 on Monday.
Born in South Africa to British parents before growing up in New Zealand and now based in the States, Norrie made a remarkable Davis Cup debut in February by beating Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut from two sets down.
That was virtually his first experience on clay but the left-hander has shown himself to be a quick learner and an excellent competitor.
Johanna Konta
Konta's dramatic slump at the end of 2017 carried over into 2018 but there have been signs over the last couple of months that the British number one is feeling more confident again.
The 27-year-old now finds herself ranked down in the 20s having spent more than a year in the top 10 and has made only one quarter-final this season.
Clay is Konta's weakest surface, although she insists she does not dislike it, and she has never won a main draw match at Roland Garros. Even one victory would be a welcome boost ahead of the grass-court season, where Konta has a huge number of ranking points to defend.
Heather Watson
Watson's career has been marked by inconsistency and 2018 has been miserable so far for the 26-year-old.
She at least goes into the French Open having ended a lengthy losing run on the WTA Tour, which began with a semi-final loss in Hobart in January and extended until the first round in Nurnberg this week.
On a positive note, Watson is in the main draw by right this year, unlike 12 months ago, and the world number 86 will hope to take belief from previous performances at Roland Garros, where she has made the second round five times.
