PARIS (AP) — A quick look at the French Open: LOOKAHEAD TO MONDAY It’s a day for 39-year-old tennis legends, with Roger Federer and Serena Williams both playing first-round matches. Federer meets Uzbek qualifier Denis Istomin, who is ranked No.203, in the third match on Court Philippe Chatrier. It’s Federer’s first Grand Slam match since last year’s Australian Open, when he reached the semifinals. The 20-time Grand Slam champion missed the rest of last year after two operations on his right knee and has played only three matches this year. Williams is up next in the main stadium against 74th-ranked Irina-Camelia Begu, as she renews her pursuit of Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles.
