Lets do this, second slam of the year and a number of storylines to watch out for:
Will Serena finally match Court's slam record?
Can Osaka go back to back to back slams?
Can Angie win the career slam?
Could Bertens or Pliskova win their first slam?
Can Petra win her first slam outside of Wimbledon?
Who will leave Paris as number 1? Osaka, Pliskova, Bertens, Kvitova or Kerber?
Will someone else win the French Open?
The seeded players in order are:
Osaka, Pliskova, Halep, Bertens, Kerber, Kvitova, Stephens, Barty, Svitolina, Serena, Sabalenka, Sevastova, Wozniacki, Keys, Bencic, Wang, Kontaveit, Gorges, Muguruza, Mertens, Kasatkina, Andreescu, Vekic, Garcia, Hsieh, Konta, Tsurenko, Suarez Navarro, Sakkari, Buzarnescu, Martic and Sasnovich
Sharapova, Makarova and Giorgi so far are the withdrawals.
Halep is the defending champ with Sloane the defending finalist. In doubles Siniakova/Krejcikova are the defending champs.
As mentioned, 5 players are in the running for the #1 spot. Osaka in pole position and then Pliskova, Bertens, Kvitova and Kerber. Halep can't become #1 even if she defends the title.
Quite a lot of juicy 1R matches:
Ostapenko v Azarenka (2 former slam champs, the winner then gets #1 Osaka!)
Keys v Rodina (Rodina beat Keys at Wimbledon last year)
Halep v Tomljanovic
Tsurenko v Bouchard (haven't seen Genie since Miami)
Sabalenka v Cibulkova
Strycova v Stosur
Kvitova v Cirstea
Svitolina v Venus
Suarez Navarro v Yastremska
Gorges v Kanepi
