Wimbledon: Murray to face Tomas Machac if passed fit for SW19

Fellow Brit Emma Radacanu has been given a difficult first-round tie against Russian 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.

The Serbian pulled out of his French Open quarter-final earlier this month and has since had minor knee surgery.

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has been put on the opposite side of the draw, meaning the earliest he can meet second seed Djokovic is in the final, just like last year’s showpiece.

British No1 Katie Boulter begins against German veteran Tatjana Maria, who reaches the semi-finals in 2022.

New Britush men’s No1 Jack Draper is seeded for the first time and plays Swedish qualifier Elias Ymer.

Draper could play Cameron Norrie in the second round after recently replacing him as British No1.
